HEY ART - stopped by the club Sat PM & couldn't find your boat - I tried. - Had lunch with Dan Pilz Wed at MRYC... before removing the tranny - call NAPA on Alexis Rd - Describe your problem - We used to have a product called a "HEALY COIL" spelling may be goofed up - back in the late 50's they worked great at fixing buggered up spark plug threads, engine oil drain plugs etc... Don't know if they are still avvailable.. They did work great however. capt.bill --- On Fri, 5/21/10, sfclinger <[email protected]> wrote: From: sfclinger <[email protected]> Subject: [IC27A] Transmission Drain Plug Stripped To: [email protected]: Date: Friday, May 21, 2010, 12:25 AM My 1984 Cat.27 is equipped with the Universal M-18 and HBW-50 Hurth Transmission. The transmission drain plug is stripped. I was told I could remove the old plug, and replace it with a self tapping drain plug. Or, I could remove the transmission from the boat and have it repaired. I'm leaning toward removal of the transmission, and repair as a long term solution. Does anyone have first hand experience with removing a hurth transmission?
