Re: HELP! PD Lower unit Bottom Gear Oil Screw - GONZO I don't know what it is and I'm not going to go change my gear oil to find out for you.  Call PD in the morning. A lot of times someone is there till noon or so on Saturdays. If not, give a call monday morning. What did you do?

Re: HELP! PD Lower unit Bottom Gear Oil Screw - GONZO On the water? Is it stripped out, or you just didn't get it back in tight?
Is the top one not the same size? Take it to a hardware store and match it up.

Have to find a good plumbing supply type store.
Napa carries some of that...

Re: HELP! PD Lower unit Bottom Gear Oil Screw - GONZO Its an oil bath system so you'd have a better chance at cross threading than seizing, since the treads will more than likely be lubricated from the start.
A lot of folks also think that you shouldn't use stainless with aluminum ( 2 non ferrous metals ) Which is also true to an extent, but we are talking about the LU. So when people question my stainless plugs in cast aluminum. I usually reply with, Well what did the manufacturer make the prop seal nut out of? They usually reply with ummm. lol
