I have a '57 Gale 12 hp (12D15B) I bought out of a pawn shop. I took it to a mechanic that works on antique outboards, and he got it running again, but did not service the lower unit. When I drained the unit, about a cup of water and sludge drained out (yes, both the drain plug and vent were removed). I was only able to put in about 8-9 ounces of gear lube ("squeeze the bottle" method). How much lube does this lower unit hold? If it holds more than 8-9 ounces, do I need to drain it again to get more old lube out?
