[ugmold]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know if there are any other grease points on this motor besides the one for tiller handle? The back and forth action is a bit stiff.

Take it off the boat, lay it on it's back, and look up inside the transom calmp. There should be a grease fitting there.

What I found was a bolt that looked like it is possibly for friction, loosened it up a bit. Also a small tapered hole that looked like a possible grease hole, shot some grease in there.

Now the bottom plate of the cover has an access hole, it looks like a grease fitting should be there, but is not??
