Re: Johnson HD20 Drive Shaft Question

quote kevinf:

The inner casing goes up into the lower flange and tube assembly. There’s a gasket between that assembly and the block with a passage through it. I’m not 100% sure but it looks to me like that’s the outlet for the cooling passages in the block. Seepage there with a bit of oil coming from the bottom of the crankcase would make a nice ooze.

Thanks Kevin,

That makes more sense now, thanks for the explanation. If nothing else, it does keep the swivel bracket lubricated. 😆
