If your asking where the grease fitting is it is at the five oclock position on the transom plate on the outside of the boat. Use good marine grease. Wal Mart has it.

these old units did not have a greasable bearing , it was sealed with grease inside of it .

Depends on which one he has...Look at the pic..Or give me model and serial number. My bet is you DO have a grease fitting.
