Is it difficult to replace the reservoir body on a Yamaha electric trim tilt system? I managed to strip the drain plug by over tightening. I'm curious to know if anyone had any advice, my Clymer shop manual states that I should take it to the dealer. Although, it also suggested that I “tighten securely” the drain plug, which I did and which brought me to this situation.

a model would help about now, there are at least 5 systems that I can think of offhand.

How about tapping the drain hole and putting in a bigger plug?
