That one fitting is used to grease the gimbal beariing. On some models, there is also a grease fitting inside the boat were the fdive shaft goes into the coupler. If you remove the drive, there is two fittings on the input shaft universals.

Pretty sure there are two fittings on the coupler. This is done just to increase the odds that you can access at least one of them regardless of where the crabkshaft stops when the igntion is cut. If you can't get a grease gun on either of them, bump the engine over for a split second to rotate the crank a little and try again.
