    That bolt threads into the exhaust housing to hold gearcase at the back.-----Obviously that will need a heli-coil.-----There MUST be a local shop that can sort this motor out.

    I see an oil drain / fill screw location.----I see oil vent screw.----And perhaps you should not touch that screw near the front of the gearcase.-----Changing the oil on an outboard is easy , but novices have made expensive mistakes in the past.
