" I used the wrong gearcase oi
" I used the wrong gearcase oil for my 1972 johnson with a hydro electric gearcase. When I went to get the boat out for the spring it would not go into the reverse or neutral gears. I checked all of the electrical parts, and all work fine. Then I checked the oil to find it all gone. There was none left in the case at all. I realize the oil is needed for shifting to reverse and to neutral. because I used the wrong oil and the oil is now gone, does this mean that I blew out a seal and need it replaced. Just to let you know I used a synthetic automotive gear oil. "
