    You’re right, #5 on a ’99’ 225hp doesn’t appear tapered and it’s called an elbow plug, not a pitot plug. I’ll check it again, but it appears to be all plastic. It almost seems like it had to come from the 1990’s 50hp I was working on, but from where/what the heck is it?

    I just went to ME and looked up a 1997 E50DTLEUR lower unit and saw nothing like it. All I did on this L/U was an impeller and oil since it held pressure and everything else looked good.

    Know what, this L/U appears to have been repainted, I wonder if someone saw those cavity drain holes and thought they needed to be plugged up.
    That’s ALL I can come up with. There’s no way that thing has been laying on my driveway for a year or more.
