40 hp. Johnson Electromatic keeps popping out of gear. The wiring has been changed, as well as the controls. I was just wondering what the problem could be.

What type of lower unit oil are you using. I believe that these call for Premium type C" oil.

Model: 4OESL69R<br />Serial: C16210<br />Year: 1973<br /><br />I've been told it could be the electromagnets that is causing it to jump out of gear. I just received the boat as a gift yesterday and haven't had time to change the oil; no idea what's in it as of now.
