[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 244284, member: 7791"] Yeah I have a 87' 9.9 There are no grease fittings inside the engine cover that I know of. Sorry if I had ya looking in there. They are on the mid section area and transom bracket I believe. There should be 4-5 on the midsection and transom bracket total I believe. Only thing to grease inside if I remember correct is the choke lever and the cam actuator. And there should be a zert for the cowling latch too, underneath where the lever is. Oh and what I meant was the handle grip itself. On mine you screw in the plastic piece the kill switch is attached to, then push in the 2 snap clips on the handle and slide it off. But be careful there are little metal bearing like pieces that will fall out and roll away. If the throttle twists fine then I wouldn't bother with it. If you decide to do it I can show you pics later of what I mean. Like you said, some pieces are hard to get off and are better left alone sometimes on older motors instead of breaking brittle plastic pieces. [/QUOTE]
