View Full Version : Lubing the Jet
What do I need to do before I take my boat for the first time ? I filled the bowl with 90 wt oil , put a turn or two on the packing gland nuts , checked the engine oil [I assume you tilt the trailer to level the motor first] how much grease does the thurst bearing take , I have a mini grease gun and pumped about a dozen times should it squirt back out if it is full how do I know how much to put in ? Do you guys grease the tow ball ? [can't wait to here back on this one] I will also check the tire bearings . Anything I am missing ? Thanks Randy

QB]Randy- when you launch-make sure you are getting a small drip from the packing -water is your lube for the packing-too tight and you will scar your shaft. Dave
Dave where would I look for the small drip ? in side by the adjusting nuts and would this be with or with out the engine running Thanks Randy

RH, it should drip slowly right at the packing gland where the adjusting collars are ,while your engine running.
