1968 Eska model 1185, 5hp, SN: T-634-07E. I Just got this motor and as I am servicing it, I drained the lower unit lubricant and very little came out. I even blew in the upper hole (fill hole) with an air hose and still just got some splatters to come out. The lower hole is much smaller and is labeled "vent". I even layed it on its side and still only a couple of drips more came out. Then I started squeezing some fresh lower unit lube into the fill hole and it immediately started draining out of the vent hole. I couldn't have gotten more than a teaspoon in there. Am I missing something? Does this model require you to open the gear housing and grease it?
Thanks in advance for any advice with this issue.
