I hate to admit this but I just noticed a zirk fitting on the starboard side of my BRAVO 1 outdrive. It is about midway down on the portion attached directly to the transom. Purpose? Need for grease?? Frequency?? :rolleyes:

Has your gimball bearing been whining???? :smash:
The Zerk is for the gimball bearing.
Grease about 5 shots every 25 hours.
I use Lubrimatic Marine Grease.

Greases the gimbal bearing - according to my Merc "Operation and Maintenance Manual":
"End of first boating season and thereafter, every 100 hours of operation or once yearly, whichever occurs first"
I see the master mechanic beat me to the response....
