Tom - It is best to fill through the bottom drain plug. Be sure to have the top plug removed during this time. Once oil starts flowing out the top hole you know you have it full. You can then put the top plug in and then quickly remove the oil bottle from the bottom and install the plug.
Hi Tom. Yes, you should fill from the bottom up using a small hand pump in order to eliminate any air pockets. You can get a quart of 80-90w hypoid outboard gear oil and a hand pump from any wal-mart. You'll also need to replace the white, nylon crush washers found beneath the DRAIN/VENT screws. Here are some handy links that can walk you through the job.
