| Post subject: | Draining the drive unit. |
Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. I have a 2001 Horizon 190 with a 5.0GL Volvo engine. I've had this boat for about four years. I have been working on it and have changed the fuel filter and changed the oil and filter. Next I want to change the oil in the drive unit, per manual I have loosen the oil dip stick and the oil level plug but can't get the oil drain plug loose, its a straight blade screw but won't loosen. Does anyone have an idea how to get this out? Thanks for any help. |

I have the same tool but have also used a heavy screwdriver and tapped the edge of the screw with a hammer on end of the screwdriver. That is how I saw it done by the mechanic at my dealer. Just be careful to not damage the screw. Comes loose rather easy with the proper strike. |

I use the biggest flat screw driver i own. You might want to order up some replacement plugs to have on hand just in case. |

Go to HD or Lowes and get a giant flathead screwdriver. This flathead should be MUCH bigger than the largest screwdriver that comes in a standard 8-10 normal screwdriver set. It can double as a murder weapon. I have a Husky brand one. It has served me well. |

I also use a tool like jontmiller identified. Another tip for straight or phillips screwdrivers to reduce or prevent slipping is to use a small amount of valve grinding compound on the screwdriver tip. The gritty texture works well. Be sure to not get the compound into places you don't want it. |

I know this topic is old but I thought I'd add some useful advice. You can clamp a set of vicegrips on the handle of the screwdriver for more torque and grip. |
