If not…Carver is creative in hiding bilge access ports. Keep looking, as they could be inside a cabinet, underneath stairs, under a berth and even hidden underneath carpeting that is not glued down.
As far as engine oil goes, all engines have dipsticks and a cap where you add oil to the engine. Keep looking as they are there. You use the dipstick to pump oil from the engines using a variety of either electric or manual pumps.
If you have any buddies that are savvy boaters, enlist their help with any of this.

My generator is a Kohler, so I can’t help with that question.

I think that’s correct, but will post an update if not.
My generator is a Kohler, so I can’t help with that question.
Sounds about right. I'm pretty sure my 87 3697 is just like that

THANK YOU everyone for your help.
One thru-hull, generator cooling, I think needs replacing, it leaks into the bilge right before the generator. Alas, it was too dark for pics, I will get some next time I'm there!!!
