How do you service lower unit on a 1989 Johnson outboard motor?
What do you need to do? It is easy to open the two screws to drain lower unit gear lube but drain into a container and not on the ground. I have a pump that I use to replace the lower unit lube. Pump hooks up to quart or larger size lube supply. I have seen U TUBE videos if you need instructions.

Well, Johnson is out of business decades ago, so if you want to keep the old piece of junk, head on over to any Johnson junkyard or used parts place you can find and ask them if they have one. if not, ask if they will give you $5 bucks for yours, probably about what it is worth.

Inspect all vaccuum lines carefully !! If more than a few years old, replace them.
Inspect all fuel lines carefully !! Clogged filters, anti-siphon valves, kinked lines will cause problems.
