1996? mariner 150 hp 2 cyc oil hose and power routing

[1963 caddy]

I put my dads 150 hp mariner engine back on his boat after being overhauled. I have a problem routing the oil lines to the motor. I should have taken a picture BEFORE I removed the motor but did not. There is a tank on top of the motor and a tank in the hold of the boat. The tank in the hold has two hoses that attach to the motor. It appears that one of the hoses mounts to a port on the lower part of the engine the other one (see pictures) should attach to the tank in some way. There is a hose with a bolt in it that goes to a "T" like fitting. Is anyone aware how this is set up? I thought the hose attached to the brass piece but it does not fit. I mounted the cables from the battery positive to the solenoid and negative to the starter.

Do you have the s/n for your engine?

Is this the "T" fitting (item 24) you are referring to?

Mercury, Mercruiser, Force, etc. - OIL INJECTION COMPONENTS - 135/150/175/200 XR6 MAGNUM III 105-140 JET

Positive and negative are ok.

When you provide the s/n, and if you PM me with an email address, I can send you a copy of the service manual.

Thank you. Questions answered. Used a balloon pump from the dollar store to apply pressure to the oil to force it up in to the tank. Oil tank full. Fitted an auxillary gas filter to gas line put 10 gallons of gas in tank and primed hose. Will take to lake and if all goes well will have back at dads place for the first time in about a year.
