Is the U-Joint on my DP-SM drive greasable?

[Dave1972]

Just curious--first time winterizing this boat and wanted to know if the u-joint is greasable or if it is sealed/non-serviceable. Mine is a 2005 DP-SM 1.78 (M22) SN3868912.

Besides new gear lube, any other maintenance items I should address before putting it to sleep for the winter?

They are not if OEM, but you do need to pull the drive and grease the coupler splines, and check the alignment.
