Outdrive drain plug stuck!!

[BlowHo]

I cannot get the drain plug or the fill/dipstick plug out of the outdrive. They were already in bad shape and I am afraid to keep twisting on them.

Any secrets or tricks to get these out? I already tried penetrating oil to no avail, please help!

A good impact screwdriver works best...

Here is a typical impact screwdriver set.
See your local NAPA.

Thanks, does that thing run off air or manpower?

Manpower and a BFH

Good, I only have a little compressor, insufficient for air tools. I have several BFH. Thanks again
