40hp Lark II gear oil question.

[RCO]

How do I go about checking/draining the LU oil on this beast? It doesn't seem to have a fill plug screw like every other OMC motor I have had. Vent screw is there, but nothing down on the bottom.

Lower drain plug aims straight down just in front of skeg.

Thanks, found it. Previous owner had pasted over it with silicone.

I guess he was either too cheap to buy a new gasket, or not wise enough to figure out there was supposed to be one under the screw
