    gearcase filler question

    I have the Stevens metal gearcase filler, I always think I have all the adaptors until I go to do a sport or torquemqster, then I'm rigging up pieces of hose and parts from my pressure tester to reach into carrier mounted fill. I didn't see a sportmaster specific adapter on there site. What are you guys out there with the same filler using? Is there and adapter ready made from them or somewhere else that works?

    Just use the same old fitting that works on all Merc motors, little tight with the propshaft just above but works fine.

    Mines real short and stubby, and to big around where the finger knurles are, it don't reach. I might order the one they have marked for bravo drives

    Bravo will work, the one we have at work is 30yrs old, must be different manufacturers. No rear fills 30yrs ago.

    Thanks. Problem solved. I have that bravo/ extension in my kit, it would never fit into a merc fill hole. Calipers told me the threads must have been cut with a worn out tap. I ran a tap down it. It should work perfect now.
