Expansion tanks

[21Mav]

Hi all,
I have a 2021 Bad Boy Maverick 60" w/kawasaki.. ZT3200 hydros... 45hrs, gearing up to replace the hydro fluid. Watched videos online. But here is my dilemma, I do not have expansion tanks. Manual says to fill it up at the fill plug. I want to add tanks so I can keep an eye on the fluid level.... I have all the part numbers to put it together. I just want to verify where the threaded fitting goes into the hydro gear(s). I found a weird looking bolt type deal next to the drain plug wondering if this is where it goes, maybe someone can confirm

Here a pic I took of the fill plug and where I think the expansion tank adapter would go

That plug you do not remove. The 3/4-18 fill plug is the one you install a new barb fitting in so can connect the tank line to it.

The one you have circled is the vent. You will see it in the service manual.

I've downloaded several but this was by far the best one. I didn't realize that goofy one was a vent plug. As StarTech mentioned it's the fill port that I'll be using for the fitting. I'm happy as a pig in poo lol thanks guys

Now if that is indeed a vent then that where you need to connect the tanks as otherwise you would oil over flowing. I was going by the IPL which doesn't show the vent plug.

I do however recently became a HG service center and definitely got some learning to do but have already ordered those vents per their SB about the new version. I thought it was only in reference to the EZT units.

Look on page 12 of the service manual.
