The magnetic plug is visible just above and aft of the oil filter. (To
verify, note that a screwdriver is slightly attracted to the outside of this
plug.) The plug is drilled and needs to be safety wired, with the other end
of the wire typically looped around one of the socket bolt heads nearby.
At a recent Rotax seminar, Phil Lockwood indicated that removal of this plug
was often difficult. He suggested using less than the specified torque when
replacing it (to make future removal easier) plus care in safety wiring it.
Unfortunately, I misplaced my notes from the seminar so I don't have the
torque he recommended. Nor can I find the official recommended torque in my
Rotax manual...
