Evinrude lower unit bearing housing position

[renegade rudie]

I pulled old d/s bearing housing on 1986 90hp evinrude to replace seals and oring below water pump and didnt pay attn to what position it should go back in so oil pumps through holes into bearign correctly

 

[renegade rudie]

there is a stamping of numbers on the housing in between 4 bolt holes wonder if that toward prop or front or either side

Some of the earlier bearing housings were marked with " front " to line up the oil supply hole.------------I believe they machined a groove all around so that oil would be supplied in all 4 positions.-----------Install it with oil hole closest to oil hole in the main housing.
