The 'floating' driveshaft bearing only has one hose clamp at the bearing, and one at the hull. The fitting is probably for the speedometer pitot. Look at the underside and see if there's a little shark fin shaped doo-hickey on there. If so, you'll need a new one to make the speedometer work, OR plug it with a screw and some silicone.

If that's not for a speedometer.....and had an actual grease fitting.......then some jackleg did it cause they had no idea what they were doing. The only bearings/seals are IN that floating assembly. Then the driveshaft goes straight out in the water to the jet pump. So, unless you want to pump grease into the thin air (or water) then it's absolutely useless.
