    Hello raiders,

    I have a old johnson 35hp and need to know were to put the gearcase oil and what type to use, this may be a silly question but i don't want to stuff up and put it in the wrong hole. I have taken out a few plugs with no oil coming out, i did notice some oil coming from the prop a while ago but it has just been sitting in the garage and i would say it has all leaked out, no biggy.. but just want to get some more oil into it..

    I have added a photo with numbers pointing to spots where i have removed the plugs..

    Any help would be appreciated...

    Thank you, livebait!! :1fishing1:

    Quick Downrig On The Bay..

    Unlucky livebait about the lost kings.

    Was your report from today, I think we were the boat you were talking about with the 2 kings.

    The afternoon downrigging session was horrible due to wind and rubbish in the water which made downrigging near impossoble, however the morning session on the other hand was a ripper. Every pass we were getting hit and all fish were over 75cm.

    A bit more persistence and you will get them.

    yeh mate that was us.. you actually seen it bust off. congrates on what sounds like a top morning.. as soon as this wind goes im out there again..

    cheers livebait
