OK I'm in the game! Paid in full. When Icalled Amazon in Orlando they told me they don't have any fittings in 3/8"-16 size. 3/8"-24 is all they have. What was I missing? Thanks again for your help.

Re: A Challenge = Free Lunch
Great Idea--like the old reseviors I had on a pair of 888 outdrives.
Leads me to another similar probem--filling the trim pumps !!!
Seems like a hose with threaded fitting that could attach to a funnel or pump to top-off all 4 trim pumps.
Every time I try that I get the shakes and even with rags and pads fluid makes a mess.
What are you guys doing for that job ??

Re: A Challenge = Free Lunch
Thanks. So, 3/8"-16 straight thread is called a 1/4" flat face in the fluid business? Guess that's almost the same as a 2"x4" being 1/2" shy on both dimensions..... Thanks. Let me know when they go out so I can watch for them. How are they monitoring drive lube in newer drives? I would assume almost the same except the bottle is square, not round...???
