Mine is an allen head bolt. Is it stripped out where an allen wrench would go in? Those are pretty hard to strip. Maybe you can hammer a big torque bit into it.

Thanks If you mean that the head is rounded off, as opposed to the threads being stripped, Craftsman makes a set of sockets that work on rounded heads. Yes it's the 5/16 allen head bolt that stripped. Kinda hard to get at.Maybe a long drill to drill it out? How does the lower housing drop without removing this bolt? Sorry 1st time boat owner know nothing about outdrives,but eager to learn. Thanks again |
