Hi

Have a question regarding 2010 Bravo 3 drive.
Looking in my maintenance Section, and it says to lube the gimbal Brg.
Show picture of Zert fitting on outside of drive.
I don't see this anywhere. Is there one?
This is not my first boat but first Bravo drive. Had Zerts on all other drives.

Thanks

Being that it's a 2010, Mercruiser has recently stopped using the grease zerk fittings for the gimbal Bearings.

They now have permalube gimbal bearings.;)

Mercruiser probably hasn't updated all of their service information yet.

Unless it self destructs you can have one of these made to grease and install the greasable type. Need the tolerance ring instaledl a bit different.
