4/5 grease fittings. One missing?

[Jimmy H.]

Hi, I have an alpha one Gen one. Total rebuild and almost finished. I have an extra grease fitting left over which is larger than the other four on the gimble housing. I have two for each hinge pin by the trim senders. One at top for the steering swivel and one for the gimble bearing. I've been looking for a while and cant find where this last one goes. As I said it's twice as big as the other four and it was labeled "gimble housing grease fitting" when I took it apart with the other four...
Any ideas?
Thanks

If your gimbal ring has the roller bearing on the lower swivel pin it goes there (maybe). #5 here: http://www.mercruiserparts.com/Show...&bnbr=50&bdesc=GIMBAL+RING+AND+STEERING+LEVER

NICE!! Went and looked and sure enough that was it. Didn't even look like a hole anymore,there was grease still in there painted over with black from when I re-finished the gimble.
Spent a long time going through old pictures and with a flash light looking everywhere for that one.
Thanks so much!
