Is this a gearlube monitor?

[MahtyMaht]

Stepson's 1988 Merc - I don't see pics that look like this in the manual, but it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck therefore, I think it's a gearlube monitor. It makes me nervous that I don't see any lube in there. At the moment, I'm focused on other problems with that boat, but at some point, I'm going to want to establish that outdrive's status.

PS: Merc did not use Gear lube monitors as standard untill 93 I think, maybe 92 and that was on the Alpha I Gen II outdrives only. Not your 88, which would be an Alpha One.
