Filling lower unit with hypoid oil
1956 3 HP Evinrude.<br />Unit does not have two plugs like most motors.There is the familiar plug at the bottom but not one above. There is however on the unit above a much smaller plug on what for a better name I will call the shin of the casing.<br />First attempt at filling I was able to put so much oil in and then it would take no more. Even with the small plug above removed I could not force any more oil in.Putting air in this top plug will blow oil out of bottom unit.<br />Manual calls for using squirt can inserted in vent plug. Question, is this small plug above the vent plug cited in manual?
