just for my piece  of mind ..  the red grease goes where ??   i have some of the lucas red n tacky  that i  read  i should put into my berkley 12 jc bowl    but have not..  but then i have also read that i should just put 90 wt in it..   i am not sure about your question  but maybe you can help me with mine

Be careful mixing greases..

To get the "bad" grease gun to work simply put it upside down and thump it a few times on the ground, if concrete use a block of wood...

BTW "RED" don't mean squat. It is just dye...

Exactly, save for the lithium variety. Berk states whatever 90W in the bowl, and on those I've stuck with Lucas. Out of the 7 or so jet boats that have passed through my hands, 2 were set up with zerks for grease. Moo being one. In those bowls, I used Pennzoil 302 Multi pupose stuff. Only reason, noone knew what SHOULD be in there, and it's what pops used religiously on the backhoes, trackhoes, trenchers, etc. But on wheel bearings, or anything else high speed, dad always used Pennzoil 707 (Pricey, same "red" color you're talking about, but that means nothing, really). Always had cases of both on a job site and 2 grease guns. 

Second, replace the zerk fittings in your bearing buddies. Probably just those.

19ftspectra, use 90 weight gear oil (or 80-90 OK to mix) in your jet bowl. Obvious - remove both  screws and fill one side until the oil comes out the other side. For the grease check with your local boat store to get the right grease for the jet pump, there is a zerk fitting on top and to the rear of your packing gland , pump the grease until if feels a little hard to pump or you see it coming out of the packing gland bottom area by the long bolts used to tighten the packing gland.
