Re: Where's My Outdrive Gear Drain (Mercruiser)? URGENT!
When your facing the back of the boat, the drain and fill plug are on the left side of the outdrive.<br /><br />Drain and Fill plug are the same plug.<br />Get down on your knees and look under the little hump for a fairly good size regular head Screw.<br /><br />That's the drain and that's where you fill the outdrive.<br /><br />Now, up top same side of outdrive you'll see the vent screw - same thing, regular head screw.<br /><br />- Take it out too..<br />- Fill the outdrive from the BOTTOM plug hole until fluid starts coming out the top, then put the top screw in first to cause a vacuum, then put the bottom screw plug in.<br /><br />You're done.<br /><br />Hope this helps you out.
