Hello Everyone,
I am new to boating and thank you members for a informative site. I am currently working on a 17' center console fishing boat. It has a 89 Johnson VRO 70HP Model J70TLCEM. I will be servicing the lower unit, replacing the gear oil, seals and impeller. The previous owner did not use the VRO and does not have the reservoir and connections for it. I don't mind mixing 50:1. My first question would be, since the VRO pump is in the way to access the shift rod, can I leave the VRO pump off after re-installing L/U.
Second question, in this link http://forums.iboats.com/forumdisplay.php?f=31 Johnson/evinrude adding a tell tale, second post was an OMC outboard service bulletin, does this pertain to my outboard?
Thank you in advance.
