"2000 90HP removed poppet cove
"2000 90HP removed poppet cover (3 bolts) to clean poppet. Broke 2 of the 3 bolts. One I drilled through. The other I drilled slightly then tried to screw an extractor in it which broke in there. I cannot drill through extractor and cannot tap it to break it. Is there anyway to user another way to hold that poppet unit other than those 3 bolts? Maybe some marine tech or something until I need to clean the poppet again which will be years. If not, how much trouble am I in? Am I going to have to replace that whole jacket that the broken undrilleable hole/bolt goes into? I hope not as chances are some of the other bolts holding it will break too. Can you shed a little light on my dilema?"
