Re: 1978 Johnson 115, and Gear Lube
Hi,
thanks for the support...
Just to confirm, can you please let me know if the red circle in the picture is the top lower unit area to put the gear lube in (screw) and the blue circle is the area to drain the gear lube (screw)?
I unscrewed the bottom screw and a thick oily, clear fluid came out (no water watesover). I've only used the engine a few hours this year and last (I know the lube was replaced 2 years ago before I stored it by the marina in my area), so maybe that's why it's so clear.
I believe this is a good sign, though I thought water would flow to the top not the bottom (opposite of what other posts claim here), since it's lighter (didn't drain the whole thing until I get the right lube).
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
