I'm in the process of converting my '84 OMC stringer to Alpha Gen 2. I've obtained virtually all the Merc parts but I don't have a remote reservoir. Are all Gen 2's made to accept one, or do I have to modify something?

Ok, thanks, Bond-o.
I see a small brass hose barb about 2" below the steering lever, on the inside of the transom assembly. I expect that's it?
Anything I need to do to do to the outdrive to connect the passage to the gimbal assembly?
