Re: Oil Sludge from resurrecting a 1957 35 hp Johnson RJE-19

[marksoldcresty]

It’s the family boat. Dad bought back in ’58. It hasn’t run in 18 years. Sat out on the farm under a tarp. I learned to ski behind it in the 60’s. Question, where can I buy an oil recovery system/kit? Also, scratching my head where I’d hook it up to the crankcase drain on the power head. BTW, I took the ’58 Johnson 50 horse off of it. Promised him I’d try the boat with something lighter. He put the 50 on it to ski two adults at a time. Problem was it made the boat stern heavy and prone to swamping the rear of it when backing up.
