I understand that its 3/8-16...I need to know if the hole in the drive is a standard bolt thread...or a tapered pipe thread ? Thanks. 
And yes....we do alot of "side jobs" (we call it government work) for people.

Take a look at any gear lube pump, the fitting on end of pump
hose screws into the drive housing.
Its the hose on the end that gets in the way, hell i dont even mind the little hand pump( but now that i am changing 3 bravos i will probably rig
up a bigger pump tank).
I just want to be able to screw that fitting into the drive without
the hose attached(ala quick release on the other end
of the fitting), that way when im done i can remove the hose
(attached to whatever pump you want) and have one hand removing the fitting and the other hand very quickly placing the drain plug(3/8-16 screw with o-ring) in the bottom fill hole so as to lessen the mess of gear lube draining out.

DIY or order these
Complete kit.

The fitting I was asking about, but made myself, before finding this.
Look under "Hose assembly and parts" for what you need.
You can order online too!

And yes 3/8-16 NC standard thread NOT a pipe thread on fitting and
in the gearcase. I'll post some pics of my homemade set-up later.

Here's what I use since I already had the pump for engine oil changes.
Simple hose and fittings from Menards, Lowes, Home Depot, Ace,
or Tru-Value stores. The fitting that goes into the outdrive is the only
non-standard piece.

Here is a close up of the only problematic component. It is actually
three parts. Hose barb 1/8 NPT, Hex sleeve double end 1/8 NPT,
and a home made 3/8-16 NC and 1/8 NPT nipple. You need to buy a
1-4 inch 1/8 NPT nipple tube. Cut one end off at your desired length.
File a nice chamfer on the cut off end. Then use a 3/8-16 NC die to
cut the threads. This end goes into the outdrive. Be very careful to
square the die onto the nipple/tube or else it will wobble and cause
trouble when you put the fitting into the outdrive. I use my mini-drill
press to start the threads in the die so that the nipple is perfectly
perpendicular to the die. Once you get a few threads started you can
put it into a vise. Here are the components before cutting the
3/8-16 NC threads with different length nipples.
