1973 85hp johnson outboard,how to refill the lower unit and what kind of oil and how much oil?
i’ve removed both screw top and bottom,drained just about everything,the drain oil looked very dark and thick. is there another refill area besides the two screw i’ve removed? the oil i filled it with comes back out. any hint how to?
remove both screws, top and bottom, get a cheap squeezie sauce bottle for a dollar from cheap shop, fill with oil and squeeze into bottom hole, fill bottle and do again place finger over bottom hole to prevent oil draining out bottom hole whilst refilling bottle, when oil comes out of top hole, quickly replace bottom screw, then top up oil level from top hole, replace top screw tighten both screws and check for leaks, any good quality outboard gear box oil will do, just ask at your boat shop for best recommendation. just check old oil for metal shavings or water as this would indicate possible problems later on. it would not hurt to purchase extra oil and flush out old oil from top to bottom first. i always do this when i replace and it is surprising how much of the old oil stays in there even after it has been allowed to drain for two hours.

Gas to oil ratio on a Johnson 28hp outboard motor?
What is the gas to oil ratio for a 28hp Johnson Outboard motor
50:1 ratio on that one,i run mine at 40:1 sometimes,it gives it more power,but the factory recommendation is 50:1 on it and i don’t recommend running a stock engine at any less,mine is built a little,good luck.

Discover Boating Video Contest Winners

Discover Boating released four videos from the winners of its 2009 video contest, I Discovered Boating, which showcases Americans’ love of the boating lifestyle.
The videos address four industry segments — fishing, powerboating/cruising, sailing and water sports — with each telling a unique story about the love of boating.
“Through this campaign, we will leverage Discover Boating’s extensive social media program to reach a broad base of consumers,” said Carl Blackwell, chief marketing officer for Discover Boating, in a statement. “Each video is seen through the eyes of an actual boater and illustrates their emotional connection to the boating lifestyle, and these videos help us share that message with millions of potential boaters.”
The videos are scheduled to run on the Outdoor Channel and on national Web sites, including AccuWeather.com, Marinas.com, OutdoorChannel.com and TakeMeFishing.org.
All of the videos are available for download at GrowBoating.org.
Thom Dammrich, president of the National Marine Manufacturers Association and Grow Boating Inc., will share the videos Thursday as part of his state of the industry presentation at the Miami International Boat Show and Strictly Sail Miami.
