Greasing outboard

Hi all, I have an old Johnson v4 120 hp and have thought for a while that I should learn how to grease it properly. I've been hunting around for a manual or a guide to no avail. Any wisdom? Is it just a case of putting the grease on all joints or are there also particular holes to fill?

Thanks!

I know nowt about your particular engine, but there's not much science to greasing. Invest in a decent grease gun and marine grease. Grease nipple points, and wipe off the expelled grease that gets pushed out.

Key points are the steering tube, outboard saddle, etc. Under the cowl, you can use a little grease on linkages.
