Greasing a 2014 115 jet drive

[susitna101]

I just bought a 115 jet drive and was given a small grease gun to grease the zerk on the jet. Rather than fit down over the zerk like a normal gun , it has a plastic tip you press down on the ball in the zerk and then press the plunger to grease. The plastic tip lasted 2 greasings before it fell out. Isn't that zerk a regular grease fitting which will accept a regular grease gun? I live remote and can't afford to mess up the fitting. Any help would be appreciated.

With your memory isn't it dangerous for you to be operating an outboard motor?

I gave you your answer before. I provided you with reference materials from the manufacturer of the jet pump. You come back and repeat the same question.

I thought you were like the elderly lady that I see on my daily walks with my dog. She always asks me where I live.

Different day. Same question. Same answer.

I am starting to feel like Rodbolt.

Sorry, new to this and didn't find the reply. Memory good - computer skills for this-not so good. Dealer is in Anchorage and hard to talk to as I live in the Bush. Thought I would try this site as people seem to be good help.

Are you saying you do not know how to find your other post and need some help finding it?

Just click on your name/handle and then click on find all posts by*******

Just a regular auto parts store grease gun will work just fine.

You might want to purchase a copy of service manual LIT-186196-00-03. Excerpt from this manual is provided below.

I got the info and thank you for your help. Not sure what I did the first time you sent it to me. I have the book and had been greasing the jet with a regular grease gun with no problems. Then talking to a guy who has run Yamaha jets told me the reason the grease gun I got from the Dealer, fitted with the plastic tip, was for that particular grease zerk. Didn't make sense to me but I am 200 miles from town and 35 miles from a road with my boat as transportation. I didn't want to have a problem!
Anyway, thank you for your help again - I appreciate it.
