I'm getting my boat ready for the summer and have done a water pump impeller change, oil change, fuel filter, drive oil change, and want to get everything greased. Where are all the grease points? I have an '01 Baja Hammer w/ a 454 MPI and Bravo 1 outdrive. Thanks for your help.

The only zerk-type greases fittings that I know of are for the gimble bearing (on the outside rim of the gimble housing), the coupler and your steering (if equipped that way). I manually grease the steering rams that are exposed with water-proof grease as well.

I greased the one on the outside of where the outdrive comes out. I'm assuming we are talking about the same one? I may have got about 8 pumps how much grease should i pump into it. I'm assuming it's all sealed so you can't tell if any is coming out correct? Should this be done annually or more often than that?

Yep, same one...... I wouldn't go crazy with the grease there. 8 pumps should be more then enough. You can tell the guys who are over-zealus on doing this because the drive boot will be filled with grease when you eventually change the gimble bearing or bellows. Lol!
Most of the new bearings sold now are sealed anyway. Part of the kit for the new sealed bearings is the removal and cap of the zerk fitting. Don't forget your coupler. Check your steering cable where it attaches to your steering actuator. Mine has a zerk fitting on the cable side nut.
