| Post subject: | looking for manual for Johnson 130 OB |
I'm looking for a manual for a 1999 Johnson 130 OB (model J130TXACB). I want to replace the water impeller and change out the lower end oil before we head off to the lake in a few weeks. Looking for parts diagrams, repair instructions, etc. I haven't been able to find anything online and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. Any help? Thanks in advance. |

You should be able to find basic instructions on how to change the water pump pretty easily. Essentially all OMC/BRP outboards built in the last 40 years have the same basic water pump design and require the same basic steps to replace. You need to drop the lower unit off the engine and the water pump is mounted right on the main shaft that goes up into the powerhead. You want to drain the LU oil before you remove it and don't refill it until you put it back on with the new water pump. If you are in need of a specific manual, you can get by with a Clymer or Seloc. These will cover the water pump replacement with enough detail and will cover a wide range of years and models. While a typical DIY kind of person is more than capable of this job, just be aware that you are going to be doing some disassembly and reassembly that if done incorrectly will toast your engine. |

You don't need to remove the oil as long as you are not going to lay it down on it's side. Keeping it upside-up keeps air bubbles from getting down into the lower gear set. |

That's why I was asking. I found some "general" information but wasn't sure if there was anything specific to my model engine (it seems to be a bit of an odd-ball size). Just for verification, what says everyone on the position of the shifter when removing the lower unit - reverse or forward? Any specific recommendations on gear oil to use? |

I'm planning on changing the oil anyway. I want to start this year with fresh fluids. |

If you're going to have this engine for a while, its a good idea to see if you can find an OMC shop manual for it. I have one for the Cobra and they are very good, I think someone on ebay was selling a number of OMC manuals and they may be available in reprints. They are much better than the aftermarket ones. Try this place they are local to me and on the website it says that they sell manuals....worth a call to see.... http://theoutboardwizard.bizhosting.com/index.html |

kmack wrote: Any suggestions on how to refill the lower unit? Of course I will start by saying that you should follow the manual for your specific ob, but... All of the outboards I have had, I filled by pumping the gear lube up from the bottom. It's a little messy: The ob should be vertical (level) and both of the "fill" screws should be out. Wipe any metallic residue off the screws, because they have a magnet to attract metals. Have a pan under the lower unit to catch spills. Then pump the oil in from the bottom. Option 1: If you purchase the oil in "squeeze tubes" then you can pump it in by pushing the tip of the squeeze tube in the bottom screw hole (first you cut off the very tip to open), and squeeze and roll-up the tube until empty. Then remove and quickly cover up the hole with your thumb. Then repeat with the next tubes, until oil starts to come out the top hole. That is the proper oil level. Then pull out the tube and cover the hole with your thumb again. Then quickly get the screw back in the lower hole. If you lost a couple ounces while getting the screw in, you can top-off that little bit from the top hole. The oil should only be up to the bottom of the hole...do not overfill. Then replace the top screw. Option 2: You can purchase the oil in 1 quart bottles, and purchase a small hand pump that is made for this purpose. It has a short hose that screws into the lower fill screw hole. Again, you pump the oil in from the bottom until it starts to come out the top hole. Then unscrew the pump and cover the hole with your thumb. Then quickly get the screw back in the lower hole. If you lost a couple ounces while getting the screw in, you can top-off that little bit from the top hole. The oil should only be up to the bottom of the hole...do not overfill. Then replace the top screw. Note: When using the hand pump, try not to pump any air into the lower unit. It's better to stop pumping before your 1 quart bottle is completely empty, and switch to the next quart. Then consolidate the left-overs at the end. Option 2 is a little less messy, and you feel like your not wasting as much oil. The partial quart bottle that is left over is easy to save for next time. |

Get the pump it makes a messy job less messy. And it allows you to pump the gear oil in more slowly which helps to let air escape. In addition to cleaning off the drain plugs also it's recommended to replace the fiber drain plug gaskets. BRP came out with a new design of drain plugs that uses an Allen wrench instead on the big screwdriver. I use them on my Cobra and they are much less likely to strip |
