Need Little Blue Plastic Water Drain Plugs
 
Bam wants over $25 total to send me two of them. Does anyone have some extras to sell cheap or know where I can get some for a realistic price? I need at least two. They are for a 525 EFI but I think they're all the same. Thanks.

Nevermind. See post #3!

Have you checked with local dealers? They should have a bin of them.

All over eBay.

Thanks Sydwayz. After some poking around I found them on Overton's site. Getting 5 of them for $15.95 including shipping.

When one of mine broke, I used a flat blade screwdriver. Blade big enough to wedge slightly and turned it out.

Great deal. Most places are $5+ each.

Does anyone know what thread those are? 1/8" NPT with an Oring? I was going to 3D print some.

maybe 1/4 pipe ?? there about 3/8's diameter in the thread

I broke two off today getting the engine ready to go. Some are already new so I'll replace the original ones and have some spares. There is already a hole in them so an easy-out worked really "easy". This is also a standard thread so in a pinch you can cut a bolt off real short and put an o-ring on it and use that for a replacement.

I have about 200 of them in stock.

If yours or anyone are 6 years or older its time to change them out and always use the new oring with the new plug or if your engine has ever been over heated. Also check your oring for your used blue plug or was that for the blue pill. Just kidding. Laways make sure the Old oring is in good shape.

It is wise to just buy 5 or 6 to have spares

I use a 2 dollar HF easy out to get the broken ones out. Very common for them to break. Or the other way is to break the broken one up so it just falls out or by force of water.
