I have a 1974 Mercruiser 165. It is in a Mark III boat with a 250 Chevy engine. I need to add fluid to my outdrive tilt. I can not find where I put the fluid in. I researched some other post it seems it will be a screw somewhere on it. Can anyone pin point where? I ordered a manual has not come yet and I am wanting to go out Saturday fishing thanks for any help.<br /> Jeff
