Just watched your video. I have a 2012 Yamaha AR190. Bought it used from a friend. I have been tinkering with it and cleaning. The problem I’m having is the clean out plug is stuck. I have watched many videos on pulling this. But, here’s my theory..the release button does not engage. It can be pushed in, but it doesn’t stay. Thinking that’s why the plug won’t come out. I saw a video that shows a plastic piece inside with a small spring. Is this what engages the button and does that mean I need to replace the whole thing? Another question I have , Is it okay to remove the 8 screws to plug to be able to remove it without pulling it? I’m a 79 year old grandmother, who was married to a proud Marine for 30 years. He taught me how to be mechanical and I take great pride in gettin’ dirty and doing things myself. Semper Fi! Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hello you lady! So, you mentioned that the release button still functions properly itself, then the release should of the plug should also function properly. I would guess that the plug is just stuck and / or corroded in place. You might want to try a penatrating oil amd ketbit soak overnight, or some people have also tried packing the cleanout chamber with ice in order for it to shrink a little before trying to pull it out. I hope this is helpful. Good luck..

@MsMikie24 9 ай бұрын
@@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162 Yes, I’ve tried all those things (ice, soaking, 2x4 on the button, etc.). But, my point is, when I push the release button, it does not stay engaged. It pops right back. So, I don’t think it’s releasing the latches on the plug. I thought it might be in that small plastic box, with the spring. I assume this is what may lock the button and retract the unlocking mechanism on the plug. What I wondered, is, can I get the whole plug out by removing the 8 screws or will this just complicate my issue.
@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162
@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162 9 ай бұрын
Yes, you can take the screws out, and the plug itself will come apart. Be careful doing that because the bottom portion may fall to the ground. If that doesn't work, then it definitely means it's corroded in place.

GOT IT!!!🎊🎊🎊 Loosened the screws, but only one would come completely out. Tried pulling on it manually and it wouldn’t budge. Finally, borrowed a floor jack from a neighbor. Hooked it to the handle and eased it on out. The little white box with spring was laying clear on the other side of the plug and no spring. Just ordered a complete assembly. Wow! That was fun! Couldn’t have done it without you! You’re my new BFF. ☺ Should have videoed it and become a “rock star”. My grandchildren would be so impressed. Thanks again!

Honestly, I am not positive on the coil, but my limited knowledge of that would have me looking for rough idle, misfires, and loss of power on acceleration. You can try taking out a plug, leaving it in its jacket, and cranking over the motor to check for a spark on the plug. No, or weak spark, might be an indicator.

Good tip. Recently bought an '05 SX230, which is a whole new world from my previous stern drive. One thing I probably wouldn't do though, is spray it on the plugs like you did, right over the swim platform, unless you like falling on your ass. Even if it doesn't make it slick, I'd guess the solvents are likley to eat at the foam.
