outdrive question
 
How do I remove the lower drain plug from my Alpha I outdrive? I have the
correct size screwdriver. It just will not budge, and I don't want to
butcher the screw. Thanks, David

Use a Impact wrench - then they often give up

You'd doing OK, you might grab the shank of the screwdriver and use it
as a handle to gove you some assisted torque.

Make sure it fully fills the slot and it is a snug fit.


I've also taken my oldest "BMF" screwdriver and ground it down to make
sure it's snug in the slot. Just make sure you grind it square. The
biggest thing you are looking for is mentioned above, make sure it fits
in the slot snug.
