engine is a 1966 fastwin 18hp.


i have to change my water pump so i am removing the old oil from my lower unit. i cannot remove the lower vent screw. the screw is stripped out. everywhere i look says to fill through that hole. can i fill from the top hole since that is the level i need or should i try to fill from the drain plug? i am new to working on these (my first time) so i don't know what to do.
thank you

Re: lower unit oil

Well that was easy. What was the other one ?? If it was a phillips head screw you will be glad you did not move it !!!
