    Hooking up oil tank/lines

    I know it will be easier to answer this with the engine serial number, but I can not locate it as the engine was painted and I can not locate a "stamp"

    The engine is a 2003 225 EFI, but the power head is 2006. My question is: when I hook up the oil lines from the out-side tank, I know the main line with the blue strip goes to the tank on the engine and the other line goes to the power-head for air pressure.. On the power-head there is a brass nosel that I assume is were this line goes.. The only thing that makes me cautious is that this is located on the other side of the power head from the tank. Is there a diagram available that shows were these lines go?
    Thanks in advance for your help!!!

    The valve that is on the power head is the same type of valve that is on the vent house before the tank... This is why I am assuming it is the correct valve

    You're correct...the line DOES hook up on the other side of the powerhead.
