Hello,
I was wondering what type of oil I should use in the gearcase of my 1960 Evinrude Lighttwin 3 HP? It is the no shift model with the weedless drive. Above the drain fill plug is says "fill with hypoid oil", but it doesn't state the viscosity. I have a bottle of OMC hi-vis gearcase lube that I was going to use, but I want to make sure it is the right stuff before I fill the gearcase. I looked in a crappy repair manual and it says to use OMC Type "A" lubricant. Can I substitute the Hi-vis for the Type "A"?
Any advice would be graetly appreciated.
Thanks,
