Re: [OMC-Boats] lower unit oil

bought some yesterday btw. they had 2-3 type C's to choose from. Of
course they all came in those stupid toothpaste style large squeeze
tubes with the pointy end. I guess the idea is you squirt it into a
spare regular sized oil container so you can use your screw in
pump? Although the ends are threaded. Designed to screw right
into the hole w/o need for pump. I foresee the need to turn the
whole boat upside down to get all the oil to come out of the squeeze
tube and go into the lower unit.
