1998 Ocean Pro - plugs and hoses

Hi!

I brought a 1998 Ocean Pro 130 HP Johnson engine with me when I left the US for Europe. I had had the engine for 3 or so years in the US, and it was on a great little boat. However the CE marking (protectionism) that Europe has, made me leave the boat behind. I had a mechanic help me remove the engine and put it on a crate. Turns out he really just pulled everything connected to the engine off...

I do not know a whole lot about engines, but I am trying to get the engine back into working condition. I purchased the harness, and seem to have fitted that alright (the engine cranks - I have not tried starting as I have no gas or oil connected yet).

However there are a couple "plugs" and hoses left over, which I wanted to see if somebody could help me with.

First, the plugs



I think the right of the two is for the VRO oil tank, is that correct? But what about the other plug, on the left? It seemed to have a ground on it as well. Is this a plug I need to connect to anything?

Next, one of the hoses


This seemed to just have popped out of the air intake, where it was just loosly inserted, can that be correct?

Last, the 2nd hose


My only guess is that this hose is for water pressure. On my old boat I had an instrument in the panel that measured water pressure, does that make sense? If so, I guess I can just plug it now.

I am looking for a good shop manual, but getting one to where I live takes some time, so I really hope to get some help.

Thanks for all and any help.

Kindly,

David

The 2nd pic is an open ended vent and fits behind the carbs straight up, just short of the flywheel. The 3rd pic is a fuel drain that slips onto a nipple on the carbs cover.

Thanks! Appreciate the input. I will look for a nipple on carb cover. Any idea what the plug I am holding in my hand is (the one to the left)?

Dave, what colors are the wires connected to the plug? Tell us the colors, and we may be able to tell you the purpose.

Chris,

Thanks! I was just up by the boat/engine yesterday, but had not seen your reply...I will check it next time I am there, and get back to you (will be 2 weeks). Good news is that the engine started. I still have not figured out the "2nd hose" above. I tried to find a nipple on the carb covers, but could not find it. If I just let it lie "naturally" it lies right next to the cable for the gear and the throttle, as if an extension of it leaves the engine and goes into the boat. Any help is appreciated.

you got to orient the pictures to the horizon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a pain to look at them!!!

I thought I might know since I have a 115 ocean runner...and a book that deals with the 90, 115, 150 and 175 models...but the 130 looks a lot different...so in the end all i can help is with my complain about the pictures!! ha ha ha

good luck
