Re: Lower Unit Wrong Oil Plug

If this was a regular lower unit which I think it is similar in that regards the only way to fix this is to take the lower apart. My guess you pulled part 42and 43 and you messed up parts 35 and 36. The good news is you wont need new parts except maybe for a new seal kit. You can try and buy some car picks and use a flashlight to line everything back up again. If that dont work you will have tear it apart. When this is done get some clear RTV and cover that bolt with the stuff to help remind you to leave that screw alone.
