Missing Zerk Fitting on Boat Trailer Grease Repack

Question

Question:

First off, this is my first grease repack on my first boat. I thought from the rubber stopper that this was a EZ Dexter, but when i pull that rubber stopper off there appears to be no male adapter to attach the grease gun. I have attached 2 pics. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks
