Stripped threads on grease drain hole.

[dlewis50]

I stripped the threads on the grease drain hole on the lower unit of my Evinrude 150. I didn't tighten the screw very tight but the screw would not tighten. Does anyone know of a quick fix? Is there an oversize screw plug available?

A service center can put in a helicoil for around $75. They will drill out the drain and insert a threaded plug. They should pressure check for you and make sure it holds about 12psi (I think). <br /><br />Good luck.

Thanks;<br /><br />Our local OMC service center is closed on Monday, I'll check it out tomorrow.
