Has anyone filled a Land and Sea outboard jack plate? I'm low on fluid and can't tell where the fill hole is. For some reason they found it necessary to put a few too many allen screws in it. Their maintenance sheet says it's the 1/16" screw on the side. 1/16" for a hydraulic fill hole?

Thanks

Could be an 1/16 NPT (National Tapered Pipe Thread) which is actually 5/16 outside diameter. Would make sense for sealing without a gasket or O-Ring. John

Thanks Jon,

I think you're right. I pulled the screw, put some fluid in and everything is fine.
