Motor is a 1990 175 Johnson. I have found the two grease fittings on the tilt tube, I have found the one fitting under the carbs for the cables. I CAN'T find any fittings for the tube the motor turns on. I can see grease right under the base plate to the powerhead, I can see grease where this tube enters the lower unit. I have looked everywhere, even tilted the motor up and down. Went to a Johnson dealer to look at exploded view of parts, no grease fittings shown. Is it possible the one under the cover near the carbs is a "remote" fitting that will send grease to this tube?

Re: grease fittings

Cddetelich, look right between the base plate to the powerhead and where this tube enters the lower unit. There will be a grease fitting.
