I recently purchased a catalina 250 that has a Panther Power tilt and lift. The zerk is corroded and needs replaced. It appears to be a 10mm. Once removed obviously grease will come out. How do you determine enough grease has been added? My previous grease experience has bleeder valves and I haven't seen one the actuator. I attached the mount for reference, the nipple is circled. Many thanks!

I am sure you are following the Panther maintenance recommendations which call for "At the beginning of each season, grease the actuator with marine grease. The grease zerk is located on the gear house casing that the motor is attached to. Depending on usage, it may be necessary to add 3-4 pumps of grease in mid-season. DO NOT PUT MORE THAN 4 PUMPS OF GREASE IN AT ANY TIME." This link might be helpful:
