Q1. Johnson 90 hp - lower unit magnetic drain screw got about 3 hair thin metal pieces - is this ok?
I didn't notice it when I changed my lower unit oil last year.
Q2. I am dragging my feet to tear into the lower unit to fix the lower unit seal and do pressure test. So, I let the clear water out of the lower unit and pumped more oil into the lower unit thinking this hopefully will get me by for 2016. What do you think? I plan to run my 1982 Johnson 90 hp v4 may be 2 hours in April, 3 hours in May, 5 hours in June, 6 hours in July and 6 hours in August, 2 hours in September, 2 hours in October. So 26 hours for 2016. more than half of the 26 hours will be traveling in no wake zone on Potomac river in DC, and trolling at about 3 miles per hour for fish.
