[QUOTE="THUMPER144, post: 411253, member: 14836"] Thanks for the pics. Maybe mine is older. It is on a 1985 Johnson and I presume it was on there since new. Zero marks, scratches, scuffs on the unit. The starter looks like it's never been used. I'm pretty sure this unit sat most of its life. The only external thing I'm seeing is that the motor cowling is cracked from it falling while in storage. Anyway, my jet unit has an exposed zirk fitting on the front and the rear has a boot that looks like one that would go over a shock absorber on a car(smaller of course). This "boot" has a area on top that allows grease to come out, but it lists ton when I took it out for the first time. Wondering if I should loop a rubber hose from one to the other and get rid of the boot? [/QUOTE]
