I took the boat to the lake last weedend and it ran great for a couple hours. Then when running wide open it seemed like it jumped out of gear, so I backed it down and it would run but not wide open. Then it eventually died on me, I was just about to use the trolling motor to get me back when it started again. But, it was running real rough. I bought the boat from my dad and he told me that the metal gas can probably was rusted and I needed to replace it. So, I got new gas cans for it this weekend and I noticed a real thick black oil running out of the prop. It wasn't doing this last weekend before I took the boat out for the first time...I'm guessing it is gear oil?? any suggestions? Again, its a Johnson 28hp and I believe its a late 80's model...Thanks!
