Hi again,
I posted about lower unit oil for my 1993 Johnson 30hp and I wasn't sure if I should add a second question to another thread or start a new topic so here it is. I was wondering when I took my drain and vent screws out, there seemed to be no washers on them, although the vent screw on the top had a taper and a gasket built on to the bolt it seemed. It wouldn't come off. The plastic washers I got from the marina seemed to fit perfectly and snug over both bolts and tightened down well and snug all around. Just wondering if you guys think it's sealed even though I put something on there that wasn't there and didn't remove anything. I checked there was no washer or gaskets stuck on the lower unit or the screws. Also no water in the oil I drained and no leaks while the boat was on the trailer after filling. Is this normal procedure or do I have to redo something? Thanks again, new boat and very little experience here, and of course little finances too so I'd like to learn.
