    It’s like Frank says, the OEM screws should be used for the reasons mentioned. That being said, tis a shame OMC could not have put a thinner slot/allen/phillips on those screws cuz they sure do “bugger” easily….Some of the clam shell gearcases use a phillips, but yours uses that pesky slotted screw…..
