omc stringer 800 outdrive drain plug washers

[swaycleveland]

hey guys,
i recently read on iboats that nylon washers not o rings are the right way to go on my 800 stringer. I am greatful for that little piece of info. however the tool over at west marine handed me o rings. the good news is that i
a) didnt use them
b) just did the lube change for the winter and the boat wont see water til next year
so im fine for now however im sure these nylon washers can be had locally at an autoparts store.
my question is can anyone tell me what size i am looking for
thickness and diameter and such would be great. heck if ya got a part number and place to buy them i would love that cause im not paying 7.99 at west marine for a nylon washer
thanks guy

Looked here on iBoats, but they're discontinued from Sierra. You're looking for OEM part #311598.

go2marine.com has them: http://www.go2marine.com/product.do?no=90451F

... but $1.30 each!?!?!?!

in the bins at Home Depot - take an old one to match it up

The upper top dipstick gasket and the top plug gasket for the intermediate are unique though. Evinrude dealer has those.
