VP DP-S outdrive - Likely through over tightening, that the threads in my dipstick port are coming out with the dipstick. Was thinking to replace the bearing cap, until I found out they are very expensive and then there is the issue of getting the shims right for proper lash. Now looking at a heli-coil solution. Sadly, my boat is in storage 250 miles away, or I would just take my dipstick to the hardware store and figure out the size and thread pitch. Was hoping someone here could help me out with that info? Would be greatly appreciated.
