Trim pump Refilling - Help!
Happy new year everyone - long time since I posted, started doing some boat maintenance today, I thought I would check the trim pump oil level, I removed the bolt where you fill the trim pump oil, which was full anyway but upon putting the bolt back in I couldn’t get it to tighten up. I think I have over tightened it and bust the thread on the housing. My question is:
1. Is this a special bolt that I simply need to replace?
2. Can I try using ptfe tape?
3. Do I need a heli-coil?
Thanks in advance – engine is Yamaha F100a
