I cannot locate the bottom drain plug/screw on my outdrive. I have a 1999 5.7 gsi volvo penta. Have I lost my mind? I know where it is supposed to be located but it isn't there!!

Buckle up Gdub, changing your OD lube is one of the easier tasks required of a boat owner! :)

May as well buy the prop tool now, you will bend one sooner or later and have to swap it. :mrgreen:

Plus you should be doing that (removing props) once a season anyway, to re-grease the prop shaft so they don't get seized on. Which can happen.
