Re: 1947 Evinrude Sportsman – LU Grease or Oil?

[Mumbles]

I’d go with the recommended oil then and only use grease if the seals are worn badly and letting oil out or water in. The seals are NLA but SKF makes current ones which will work. Part number 4770 for the D/S seal and P/N 5523 for the P/S seal. ‘Grease’ cast into the housing can be misleading as earlier motors did use grease and the word remained on the housings for years after switching to oil.
