I will be using this housing to document the re-installation of the grease fitting that merc decided to omit. I have done two so far because of water leaking inside the boat from the steering arm from corrosion because of no grease. A fairly easy install but you must be careful using the small drill bits.

Yep, seems the aluminum somehow got very brittle and the drive just fell off. Backing a boat off a bunk trailer. Go figure.
