Technical Specifications

Package Contents

• 1 x Magnetic Gear Lube Drain/Fill Screw (Replaces 22-8M0058389)
• 1 x Seal/Washer Gasket

Installation Guide

1. Place a suitable drain pan underneath the lower unit of your engine.
2. Using a large flathead screwdriver, carefully remove both the upper (vent) and lower (drain) gearcase screws.
3. Allow the gear lube to drain out completely. Examine the old oil for any signs of water intrusion (milky appearance) or excessive metal particles.
4. Clean the threads of the drain and vent holes on the gearcase.
5. Install the new magnetic drain screw with its new seal into the lower drain hole. Tighten it until snug, but be careful not to overtighten and strip the threads.
6. Using a gear lube pump, fill the gearcase through the lower drain hole until fresh lube begins to flow out of the upper vent hole.
7. Reinstall the upper vent screw with its seal first, then quickly remove the lube pump and reinstall the lower drain screw.
8. Wipe the lower unit clean of any excess lube and inspect both plugs for leaks after a few minutes.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this plug fits my engine?

A: This plug is designed for Mercury and MerCruiser lower units that use a 3/8-16 UNC threaded magnetic plug. Please check the part number cross-reference table and compatible engine list. Verifying the thread size of your current plug is the best way to ensure compatibility if you are unsure.

Q: What is the benefit of a magnetic drain plug?

A: The powerful embedded magnet attracts and collects fine ferrous metal particles circulating in your gear lube. Inspecting the magnet during lube changes provides an early warning of excessive gear wear or potential component failure.

Q: How often should I replace the drain plug seal?

A: The gasket/seal should be replaced every time you change your gear lube. This ensures a proper, leak-free seal and prevents water from entering your gearcase. The plug itself should last for many years but should be replaced if the magnet is weak or the threads are damaged.
