Merc V8 Oil Drain Nipple
Thought for sure this was a fresh water flush nipple. Turned out to be the oil sump drain nipple. Sits there in a recess in the mid section fairing. Uggggleeee! Anybody know of somebody is making an aftermarket snap-on plastic or rubber piece to cover the nipple and fill in the recess? If there isn't one, there should be!

Like a rubber plug so it looks like the cowl?
No one is making a plug for that yet, and you are the first I've heard of that wished there was one! It is interesting that they make a plug for the zinc bolt hole, but not the oil drain.
It would be cool if someone made one for a 90/115, 150, v6 and v8. They all have the same oil drain but different cowl configurations around that nipple.
