Title: 36hp Oil Drain Plug
Post by: Thomas on February 18, 2012, 12:14:05 PM

I'm working on my first 36hp and I found the oil drain plug stops before it get close enough to crush the seal. Not sure if I have the wrong one or I'm missing something.

Hey Thomas, that plug is a pipe thread fit, meaning it needs no washer, just a little thread sealant is all that is needed, Don,t over tighten that plug .
