whats the problem? it leaks during pressure test? looks like a decent fix there. maybe you got the wrong washer in there.
take the helicoil out and put a bigger drain plug in there. your gunna need a bigger plug anyways if you start drilling.

the helicoil is crooked, i read too fast..
the case is soft enough a good tap should cut nicely without the drill.

STEP 2
packed the inside of the case with a rag to catch drillings, drilled out the old hold 7/16" then started to tap with the pipe tap.
I went a deep as the tap could go, but its a blind hole so it would not go as fara s I needed. by putting the plug it it sticks out too much.
So back to my shop and my I'll cut 1/4"-1/2" off the tap.
That should get the taper deep enough so the plug will be flush or just recessed.
Also picked up new seals for the prop shaft and drive shaft, a new o-ring and zinc for the carrier.
I'm getting there and it looks like it will work, the pressure test will tell.

That looks like it should work. If not, I am sure you can find another lower unit pretty cheap from a blown or tired 'rude. What is that a 175? Zac's has one for a 150, I think that it is the same shell.

The shop that put the coil in said there are no plugs that are bigger, even from another manufacturer. The coil was so crooked I could see the impression in the plastic washer all on one side.
The problem is if I go to another bigger machine thread the head will be huge for that diameter and it will stick way out of the LU. So I think the good solution is the tapered pipe thread and a NPT plug. We use these things at work to hold thousnands of psi. It should hold fine for under 20. If all goes well it will be recessed just right and there will be very little flow disturbance in front of the prop.
