Where To Find LARGE Screwdriver for Lower Unit Plugs? -- Follow-Up
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=46978
I have received this screw driver. But it doesn't have a 1/2" blade. Seem like the description in the web doesn't quite match the description on the box. I guess my search for a 1/2" blade screw driver is not over. Oh well... Jay Chan |

As long as you are close, it is more important that the thickness of the blade match the slot, rather than the length. The nice thing about the impact hammer is that it minimizes slipping and will break corrosion to a certain extent. |

Jay Chan Have you tried to remove the plug with just an ordinary screwdriver yet? If you are careful, using the right size screwdriver (matching thickness of screwdriver with width of the slot), and keeping it perpendicular to the screw, you should be okay. If you feel it beginning to slip, stop. Yes, I have already done this using a 3/8" blade. It kind of works; but I must be very careful. Seem like I will continue searching for the right one.

Jay Chan If the screw is chewed up at all, get a new one, they're cheap (as far as boat parts go!) |

Jay Chan These are common, only not in typical screwdriver form. you can get 3/8" or 1/2 " drive made for an impact tool or rachet wrench quite easily at about any good hardware or Auto Parts store. |
