The Magnetic Drain Plug Screw w/ Stainless Steel Encased Gaskets (22-67892 or 8M0058389) from Buckshot Racing #77 is designed to enhance the longevity and performance of Mercury lower units and gear cases.
This advanced drain plug not only helps pull harmful metal shavings from the gearcase oil but also features a stainless steel-encased washer, reducing the chances of water intrusion during gear heat cycles.
Dual Magnetic Functionality: We recommend using double magnetic screws in both the fill and vent holes for maximum debris collection. The high-strength magnet inside the plug attracts and retains ferrous metal shavings, keeping them from circulating in the oil and preventing premature wear on gears and bearings.
Superior Sealing with Metal Rubber-Coated Washers: Unlike traditional nylon washers, the stainless steel-encased washer provides a better seal for a hot lower unit, minimizing water intrusion through the plugs during gear heat expansion and contraction cycles.
Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel: Ensures long-lasting performance even in harsh saltwater environments.
Made in the USA: Precision-manufactured for the highest durability and best reliability.
These drain plug screws fit most Mercury outboards and sterndrives, including:
Super Speedmaster: SSM #4, SSM #6
High-Performance Models: Sportmaster, CLE, Fleetmaster, Torque Master
Standard Mercury Drives: MC I R, MR, Alpha I, Gen II, and Bravo units

Installing the Magnetic Drain Plugs w/ Stainless Encased Washers from Buckshot Racing #77 is simple:
Remove the old drain plug with a large flat head screw driver.
Inspect and clean the drain hole to remove debris, feel for metal shavings and make sure any shavings or debire desolves between your fingers.
Install the new magnetic drain plug and tighten securely without over-torquing.
Refill with recommended gear oil according to manufacturer guidelines.
For optimal performance, replace your gear oil and inspect the plugs regularly to check for accumulated metal shavings, ensuring that your Mercury lower unit stays in top condition.
The Magnetic Drain Plug Screw from Buckshot Racing #77 is a must-have upgrade for Mercury lower units, outboards, and sterndrives. We've replaced all other gasket types with these, including o-ring types, and have found better performance.
Its dual magnetic function, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and superior sealing capabilities make it the perfect choice for those looking to protect their gearcase, prevent water intrusion, and extend the service life of their marine propulsion system.
