The drain plugs from hell...
Message:
So, was looking for some help/advice. Yesterday I winterized my boat, got everything done EXCEPT the lower unit oil. When I went to do it, I couldn't get either of the drain screws off. I used the big type flat head screwdriver and tried removing them and no luck. It's getting to the point where they are starting to strip. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get these out? I did order some new ones and they are on their way. Once I can get these out I'll replace them but I'm seriously having a tough ass time trying to get them out...

Have you tried soaking them in penetrating oil or WD40?

I tried WD-40 but that didn't work. I was thinking of trying penetrating oil or something similar. That's my next try tomorrow morning. I'm hoping I can get them out without having to drill them out or using a tool like that. Any recommendations on a good penetrating or special oil that might loosen them?
