Question Changing Bravo I drive Oil

Can anyone tell me how to change the oil in my Bravo I? I know where the screw is behind the prop. I don't know where the other one is and can I fill it back up by pouring the gear lube in the over flow? (Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm not too mechanically inclined)

The other screw should be on the side of the casing, right around the corner from where the Bravo 1 sticker is.

My bravos have the vent screw on the side of the upper case like cm26 said. It also has a dipstick in the top of the upper case. It is of paramount importance that you fill your drive from the bottom drain plug with an appropriate pump. Otherwise you will get air pockets in your drive and a false full reading.

Ok, thank you for the quick responses. What do I use to pump the drive oil back in and where can I get it?

bn... any kmart or walmart with a boat section has them. They are like $8 or so. Just a little hand pump with one end that screws on a lube bottle and an end that screws into the drive. Very common ite.
