Tips for installing Helicoil in lower unit ????

[MrChuckFL]

One of the bolts on the lower unit stripped out this weekend.

I got a helicoil kit to fix the threads however i am a little anxious about drilling and screwing it up.

Anyone have an tips for drilling straight at a wierd angle?

Or perhaps some words of wisdom from those who have done it before.

Im thinking I have one shot to get it right.

Since you're going to spend money no matter what, think about adding one of those right-angle drills to your inventory. I believe it will give you a better chance to make the hole straight/true while drilling upside down.
