    quote Richard A. White:

    So should we be drilling those holes or leaving it be?

    Well it was the last known advice from OMC on the matter. Use the lower crank bearing that accepts carbon seal, use carbon seal, remove baffle plate, use flat plate with no sound restriction tubes, and drill out the 1/4" holes. As well as greasing splines of course. I do not believe there was a service bulletin after that on the matter that Im aware of.
