Post Greasing cast GT lowers
I have followed the prescribed method for greasing my lower unit after break in in both the manual and video series. The problem I ran into is that the upper grease fitting on the lower unit near the belt housing is missing. There's a plug in the hole that I'm assuming a zert fitting is supposed to be.

Does anyone know if they no longer want you to grease the upper zert? The lower zert is intact.

I could not find a post that answered my question through search.

Any help would be great.

My 2015 cast lower has the zert for greasing.

Do you have one or two?


I have the one near the prop but not the one near the belt housing.

I have two, one at the belt housing, and one at the prop.

They did away with the upper zert so no worries about greasing it.

If it has a plug it has a sealed Bearing up front.
