Getting a late start this year... prepping the boat and can't remember how much and of what type of oil goes in a Berk bowl.
I've got a JC pump with a Jet-o-vator...
Thanks in advance... :D

No gears in there just 2 bushings, so you can use straight wt heavy motor oil or gear lube.
I squirt in 50 motor oil.

There's 2 plugs...take-em both out and squirt in one side till it comes out the other.
Oh, and don't get to upset if it gets milky after a few time out in the water...I flush my bowl with fresh oil every couple trips out. Just make sure it does hold oil.

Roger that... it was what I was thinking, but just wanted to make sure.

Not that I know of... :rolleyes:
I've only had this boat for a litte less than a year and have only used it a handfull of times... it had oil when I purchased it and I've never seen any signs of it leaking... to be honest I haven't checked it since the day I picked the thing up. :idea:
