Default Where To Find LARGE Screwdriver for Lower Unit Plugs?


wrote in message
ups.com...
Jay, take a VERY close look at the slots in those plugs. If they seem
deeper
in the center than at the edges, they're supposed to be removed with
something called a DZUS driver. My Johnson outboard's drain plugs are
like
this, and a normal screwdriver (which you can get at Sears, by the way)
will
mess up the slots.


I don't think the plug is like what you have described if I remember
this correctly. I will double check it before I order the screwdriver
from Harbor Freight.

Thanks for the warning though.

Jay, before you bother with Harbor Freight, have you simply walked into a
Sears store? I have tool # 41852. On the handle, it says it's a 3/8" driver.
When measured, it's just a hair under 1/2".
