Hey everyone,
Thank you for the continued help. Scott, I found your original post VERY helpful and I successfully dewinterized my boat this weekend! Thank you for your help.
A couple questions – first 3 should be easy answers...the 4th is a bit nuanced:
1. How do I know if I have a power steering cooler?
2. Where is the thermostat housing? I replaced one in my wife's car, but I can't find anything that looks like that on this motor.
3. Where can I find step by step instructions on changing the gear oil?
4. I drained the tilt clutch and had water in there. I found a really good thread on packing with grease, but I'm getting stuck on page 8:

It says to remove the fill plug and drill a NPT grease nipple...but I'm confused if I'm drilling a new hole or tapping the existing fill plug hole?
Can someone help me make sense of that?
