Dawgg my grand mother gave us kerosene and sugar. My wife got sick about a week ago and now I got it. Don't know if it is the flu or just a bad cold. I am feeling a little better today, a couple more days and it should be gone.

Mine does not look anything like that. It is just a regular screwdriver slot. It is 1/2" slot and none of my screwdrivers are wide enough to get a grip without cutting out of the slot. I tried a piece of flat steel like Scooper suggested but that slips out too. I have stripped the slot trying to get it loose, I'm afraid. I have an impact drill so if I can find the right size screwdriver for it I think that would do it.Originally Posted by micorps

Well i bought the tool to get them off and renders the cap useless afterwards. Check on marine tech if it will work on yours and you can borrow mine, they are only $30 or so.

Micorps that wiper ring fits on the top part of cap, it's suppose to keep dirt from getting in the tube. Thay's what I've been told but I have a Evinrude.

Found a picture of my tilt and trip unit. If you look at the motor on the top left, just under it is a plug with a screw slot in it. It is 1/2" wide and it is the booger I can't get out. I am pretty sure that is where I need to check the fluid level.

Ray, that trim unit looks a lot like mine and the slotted screw is where you check the fluid level. And if it is like mine, be sure to raise the trim all the way up and activate the lever to hold the motor up and then bring the trim down a little to take the weight of the motor off of the trim. Then it is safe to remove the slotted plug and check the fluid level.

Thanks for the info. I figured out after some reading that I needed to do that, but I confess my earlier attempts were with the unit patrially tilted so it is a good thing it didn't come out. I now am wondering if all that pressure was not contributing some to the difficulty of loosening the plug. I will try it the proper way shortly and see if it budges.
I bought the outfit a couple of years ago but it is a 99 model and never had a wrench on it so the screws have really seated. Previous owner bought it new and it spent most of it's life parked in his garage.
