          Comments about Moeller Mercury Lower Unit Gear Case Plug:

          When the catalog said "Kit", I assumed that there would be a plug for the vent hole and the fill hole. Now I need to order a second and I'm ready to winterize my boat now.

              This drain plug is a LOT easier to install than the stock drain plug, you don't have to mess around with a - screw driver and loose lower unit oil.

                        Some lower unit use o-rings. Other use the fiber gaskets. I know on my 4-stroke 60 and 15HP motors, they both use the fiber gaskets.

                        A:

                        They are both plugs, however one is magnetic and will attract any free roaming metal shavings or particles that can harm your engine.
