Hi all! Ive been trying to get everything figured out on this motor, but I havent been able to figure a few things out here. So, I guess I will start off with this first picture. What you are looking at is a fitting that is attached to the end of the oil mix tank line and where it was supposed to go. Appears to have been a copper fitting that broke. Is there anyway to pull this out or was it a press fit and I need a whole new assembly? see first 2 pics below....

Next question, where was this supposed to go? I noted it when I got it home but have no idea where it is supposed to be or what it is actually for. As you can see, it is attached to the boot of the lower unit, but I cant find another line that it should be connected to. Any advice on this one would be helpful.

The next thing is this wiring. Particularly for the tilt. When I bought this outboard, the green/white and white one (tucked under starter cable) were used to demonstrate that the tilt/trim works on this outboard. My question... where should these be connected? Am I to assume that I need to run independent lines from the controls @ the helm? Or should these be powered by the 8-pin main?
===========================================================================
===========================================================================
===========================================================================
And finally... where on earth is the serial tag supposed to be. Ive all but disassembled this thing and I have yet to see it. Am I blind? Do I need a vision screening because I completely missed it? On my old 50hp ('85), it was right on the mounting bracket in plain sight. This one....not so much.
Thanks all in advance and I look forward to reading your replies!
