Trying to Remove Lower Unit Drain Screws
I'm asking for advice on removing the lower unit drain and fill screws, on a 2015 Tohatsu 9.8HP.
They both take a flat tip screw driver. Couldn't get them to budge. Tried holding the screw driver, and hitting the end of the screw driver with a hammer, while turning it, neither one will budge.
Tried an impact, nothing.
Any tips?
When I get them off, would like to replace with something other than one's that take a flat tip.

And see if you can find a bit with a hollow ground tip, or a hollow ground screwdriver that has a square shaft so you can put a wrench on it.Originally Posted by DockShootinJack

Side note: always replace the washers on the drain and fill screws anytime you remove them. I buy them in bulk since the shipping cost is usually 10X what each washer costs by itself.

You can pick one up at Harbor Freight if you have one close, save waiting times
