    125 hp LU drain plug stripped.

    Hex drain plug is stripped pretty badly and I really don't want to mess with it. Would it be ok to refill until clean gear oil drains from vent plug? Thanks

    1986 125 hp outboard Force. Tilt/trim works but the engine comes down slowly within minutes. I read the post on the FAQ section. It is showing an expired eBay link. Any idea where I could find a repair kit for the trim tilt system? Thank you. FMT
