    Lower unit lube

    Helping a friend, where is the fill/drain screw on the lower unit? There is one at the top of the lower unit for level but can't find another. Do you fill to the top or do you leave a little space for oil expansion?
    Thanks

    You need an allen wrench.

    Thanks CStewart and Mike, pulled the water screen and checked the lower unit. This is diff than the 300xs I run but I guess I will learn more about the Yami as time goes on.
