yet another stripped gear drain screw

[jfrankenhoff]

have a 2003 yamaha 25 hp 2stroke outboard. changed the gear oil today and managed to strip the drain screw when i put it back in. have read about heli coiling on the forum specifically referring to suzuki motors. can this also be done for the yamaha or is it possible to find an oversized gear oil drain screw? was ready to put the boat in today and oops.

Heli-coils can be used to repair most any casting. It is not a motor or product-specific process.
