I've not needed to used them yet, and if my Pertronix conversion ever gets off the ground, I'll not need to! Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Thank you for the information, the points are on order.

**A second question; how do you drain the lower unit on this model Mercury 700? There is no bottom drain hole for the oil. There are two fairly close to one another, where you would typically find the upper hole. I ask this question because I am preparing to winterize the motor and need to drain the lower unit. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this issue.
