  1. Stripped Lower Unit (Upper) Drain Plug

    I've been noticing residual oil on the lower unit of my 1987 Evinrude 225hp outboard.  I unscrewed the upper plug to replace the Teflon seal and found that the threads are stripped out.  (Explains the leaking oil, huh?)  I'm supposed to be pulling the boat up there next week and figure that I need to fix this before then.  Any idea how to repair this?  Is there a temp fix to get me by for next week?  I've done a Google search and have found a bunch of articles but, I figured that I'd reach out to all of you because this site has been very helpful in the past.  Thanks in advance!  HELP!

  2. Thanks for all the help fellas (and ladies, if any...).  We only got out one abbreviated afternoon and managed to land one shorty.  (More by accident than anything else...)  Getting my fishing buddies out of bed early after a night of drinking was an effort in futility.  Who knew?  Anyway, I'll be back up in 5 weeks heading out of Little Sodus Bay to give it another shot.  (With different fishing partners)  Good luck out there all and stay safe.

  3. AnglingAddict, I'll give that a shot. However, I live outside of Philly and work for the godforsaken Post Office so, finding the time will be an issue. I'm thinking that maybe when I get up to Sodus Bay next month I'll charter a trip with someone. A few buddies and myself chartered a trip out of Pulaski a few years ago but the captain was a miserable son of a **** and made the trip miserable. I guess that it's worth giving it another try.
