Same as a bravo, pump in through the bottom until it comes out at the top. I just fill to the vent in mine, don't put any in the expansion reservoir in the transom assembly

Supposed to.

This year, I plan to add a bravo style reservoir to mine. I am going to put a nipple fitting on the inner transom plate, where the current breather vent is, and plumb it to the reservoir bottle. I am sick of guessing if i have enough oil in the drives or not.

I do but I don't put any fluid in there. Read too many times about it puking out. I just crack the top plug and make sure clean fluid starts to come out once a week.
