I have a 2000 Sedan Bridge w/3116's. Where do you fill the transmission fluid?

My boat came without a starboard belt guard. Bought one from SBMAR and tried to install it today. Had no problems finding and removing the three bolts has I have done the port before. But I also have problems with the coolant overflow tank blocking the positioning of the guard. I am going to give it one more shot based on a wild theory. But when that fails, sure would like to permanently relocate the overflow tank so I wouldn't have to deal with it everytime the belt guard has to come off, or devise some sort of clamp on approach so I don't have to take out all 6 of those screws (three of them blind). Anyone tried this before?I finished replacing both belts yesterday. The Stbd engine was the harder of the two, but overall not difficult. I learned a few tips, that may help out.
The overflow can mounted on the bulkhead was in the way to remove the belt shroud. What seemed like the lesser of two evils was to loosen and move engine coolant tank. Keeping all hoses connected, I tied a line to hold it up.
3 bolts hold it together:
--10MM head on the front
--10MM through the Alternator Bracket
--15MM through the Motor Mount
You can find the location of each bolt by inspecting the shroud housing. The brackets are held on with large rivets. Find those, and the bolts are not far.
Lastly, you need to install the 15MM bolt a little blind, and dropping it off the socket will ruin your day (searching for it in the bilge). I ended up taking a little electrical tape to hold it to the socket. This made installation much easier for me.
On the Port engine, you need to remove the fire extinguisher tank.
Have Fun!!
Throttle cables. You can barely see that the port one comes back around the outside of the engine between the coolant tank and the coolant overflow where it disappears and connects to the throttle on the port side of the engine. On the second picture you can see where the other one has curved around the starboard engine remote oil filter and connects to the throttle.Bill, What are the two conduits/cables in your post #896 that pass above the mixer elbow and go forward past the coolant tank on the port engine?
Paul, so you figured removing the four bolts holding the tank was easier than removing the 6 screws holding the overflow bottle?
OK, I was just trying to figure out what you have different than I that I have no problem getting the belt guards off.
Your bottles are in the same place as mine as near I can tell. Here is an old pic from survey of the area up front. You can see if something looks different that you may be able to move.
Do you have sync? if so where is that mounted?
It's the starboard side that's the problem. How exactly are you sliding in and out your starboard belt guard? From the top or the side?
I do not have synch.
I have the same looms as Bill on my Port engine. I don't have an engine sync either.
Bill - Removing the 4 bolts was easy and you can stand between the engines comfortably. To remove the 6 screws, you need to lay over the engine, and turn screws blindly. I suppose with power tools, the job may be easier, but I didn't have any of that onboard.
Did you drain the tank or leave the coolant in it?
A buddy of mine is a broker and just got the listing on a 2002 400DB in my marina, with Cummins engines with only 175 hours on one engine and 182 on the other. Its a Texas boat (near Houston) that moved here about 9 months ago. Should be on the regular boat sale internet sites within two weeks.
You will be going right by it on your ride down here, Mike.Le us know when it lists. I have friends that may be interested.

I am interested to buy a 400 sedan bridge sea Ray, 2000 or newer
