    Lower Unit plugs

    I just paid to have the lower unit replaced on my '99 Evinrude, 50 HP. The mechanic said BOTH drain plugs were missing. I changed the fluid last fall and put the plugs back myself, has anyone ever heard of these plugs backing out?

    Holding Tank

    I want to give my holding tank a thorough cleaning. My plan is to pump out, then refill with water and 4 or 5 gallons of bleach. Leave this mixture in the tank for a week then pump out. Will this harm anything (tank, hoses, fitting, etc)? It is a 60 gallon , aluminum tank.
