Question Re: Drain oil from foot of 40hp Yamaha

I've got one screw saying wash and the one right next to it says oil level. Which one drains and where do I put the new oil?

the wash screw is to flush the motor after used in salt water, there should be another screw just above the bottom skeg to drain the oil from ... what model yam 40 are we talking about here?
