1981 mercury trim pump/motor
Hello, my trim pump needs oil added to it and well the plug for the fill hole will not come out. The head for the screwwas made of plastic and broke as soon as i put any pressure on it. Hoping there was some metal under the plastic head i tried an easy out and lets just say the whole plug is eaten up and isnt going to come out. Is there any other way to get oil into this reservoir besides the hole designed to take it?
i was just going to buy a new motor/reservoir but i cant seem to find what im looking for. There seems to be 4 different pumps that match the model year and none of them look like what i have. I also cannot find a part number on the one i do have. ive attached some pics of what i have, would any of you happen to know what it is and where i could find a replacement? thanks in advance

Hi James. A detailed (close up) pic of the plug/hole will help. Trying to assess the damage and if it's possible to put a drill/tap/plug or a drill/heli-coil/plug into it and save the pump.
 Thanks

I'll get a close up tomorrow.
What I'm really interested in is finding a replacement before I destroy this one anymore trying to fix it.

snow has prevented me from getting a pic, it should all be melted tomorrow or tuesday and ill get that. I have made some progress in finding a replacement.
here is the link to the replacement dipstick (the thing i have mangled in my current motor) http://mercuryperformance.com/89499-...ck-p-7879.html Here is the closest thing i can find to the motor that is on the boat. Im sure it will function correctly but Im not so sure the mounting bracket i have will work on this motor. Even if it wont i can figure out a way to mount it to the boat so i will pull the motor and start messing with it more. Id much rather buy a 15 dollar plug than a 200 dollar motor. https://www.dbelectrical.com/product...5-92459a4.html

Is your engine an inline 6 outboard? Also know as a tower of power?
