100 hour service question

[granpachuck]

Just finishing up oil, filter, and spark plug change, and have been reading up on the bearing housing and the need to grease it. From what I have read on here, most have a tube attached, and then just fill that tube with grease? On my 2016 242 LS E series, I think I have located the correct fitting, but there is a short cap on it instead of a tube? This is located directly behind each engine, against the transom.
Does anyone have a pic of this fitting , or advice on this?

Thank you,

Ok, using my long arms that served me well playing basketball, I pulled the caps off the fitting and shot a few pumps of grease in there. While I am all stretched out, and have the grease gun handy, anything else I need to grease or lube ? I bought the boat this May and had almost 50 hours on the engines, now almost 120.

Thank you,

You got the right fitting. The black cap is only a dust cap. Just don't over grease this fitting.

Ok, thanks. Gave it 4 or 5 easy pumps each side. And I get to reset the 100 hr warning siren that gives my wife a heart attack.

You should remove each rear pump cone and inspect the condition of the grease. Making sure no water intrusion. Apply some more grease. I would just get 2 new o-rings to do the job.
Its very easy.

Ok, thanks, was wondering about that. I will search for some step by steps and the o rings too.

Do you remove the entire pump to do this?

Nope just the rear nozzle. 4 14mm bolts, top quick release for the reverse cable, and steering cable nut and bolt. Then you will have access to the cone with three allens.
I just did mine and wire wheeled each bolt and installed back with waterproof grease on all the threads
