Sorry - I still don't get it.
Where do I need to add some gear oil to my Berkley JG? The zerk fitting makes it easy to see where to squeeze a little in, but apparently I need something equally as obvious to know where to put the gear oil.

when i put gear oil in mine the oil coming out the other side is milky colored-do i have to pump in gear oil until it runs clear? or just make sure that its full and has no water in the cavity? thanks again
I had the same problem...I can't get the oil to go inside...It just flows back out the hole that I put it in...What's up with this?
I have a 12JG as well! What am I doing wrong? and what weight should I be using?
ok, another dumb question ive been meaning to ask for a long time, i have a dominator bowl, i dont have those holes like a berkeley, how do i oil mine? or do i not have to?
You don't oil dom's
Doms = Grease. There should be 2 zircs. One inside the bowl and one on the front of the pump just above the intake. Use a quality synthetic grease designed for marine use. I like NEOS
I belive some Dominator pumps use a water lubed tail bearing...look into that!
And yes, just purge the milky oil out till it runs clean...don't get to nuts about the milky oil. I've put a new seal in and after a couple trips out and there's still water mixing in. Just make sure the bowl holds some oil!....I usually flush mine every 3-4'th trip out.
