I got a Johnson 40 electromatic from a friend of mine. I'm completely new to boats and I'm trying to change the lower case oil.
I've purchased the type C lube and now the instructions say to put the lube in the lower hole while having the top vent hole unscrewed, until the lube starts to flow out of the vent hole. As soon as I squeeze it into the lower hole it just starts to run out any tips?
Also, I'm 100% new to boats and the directions say to have the engine in the upright position. I'm guessing that the engine has two positions? Upright, perpendicular to the boat and another position that will let the engine sit out of the water. Is this correct? If so I think my engine is currently sitting in the "Prop up out of the water" position. How do I put it into the "Prop sitting in the water" position?
Thanks!
