I Bought a 9' aluminum Seaking flatbottom boat this weekend with an older Johnson 1.5hp Outboard in like new condition for $250 the only problem is I drained the oil out of the shaft (lower screw) but now I can not find the top screw to see if it is full. I noticed there are four holes in the front of the shaft below the motor and when running the engine no water is coming out. Should there be?. <br /><br />Bill
I don't know what year your Johnny is, but I had a Johnny 2hp with only one screw on the gearcase.<br /><br />You lay the engine on one side to drain it, and on the other side to fill. Yours may be similar.<br /><br />You need to watch the exhaust to see if it is pumping water. It doewsn't have a telltale stream.<br /><br />Good luck.
