 Gator tail grease fitting
Does anyone know what size the grease fitting on a gator tail is, its the fitting to lubricate the shaft, buddy of mine put the trailering bracket right on it and snapped it off. Its a 2012 35 gtr

 Re: Gator tail grease fitting
The zert is pressed into an aluminum pipe threaded on one end. I had broken mine so I ez-outed the pipe and replaced with a plug. I have a zert on a standard steel pipe that I use to grease then remove and re-install plug. A little more work but I don't have to worry bout being breaking aluminum nipple off.

 Re: Gator tail grease fitting
used my time wisely at work tonight and fixed my grease fitting. As you can tell from the previous picture it was a pinched a little at the top, so i cut it back about 1/4" to get the inside diameter back round and also to give me more clearance for the trailering bracket so it doesnt happen again. After doing this I used a 3/8 tap and tapped the nipple. Used a zt-500 grease fitting and screwed it in.

 Re: Gator tail grease fitting
How did your trailer bracket smash that grease fitting?

 Re: Gator tail grease fitting
Its a short transom motor and the trailering bracket sits real close to the fitting, well i had a buddy with me helping pick up boat and when he put it on he trimmed down with the bracket on the fitting
