Hello,
When I tried starting my boat after a prolonged storage I found water leaking to the bilge and two freeze plugs fallen in the bilge. I think some people refer to them as core plugs too. I want to try to put them back them while the engine is in place (i.e., without removing the engine from the boat). I was actually able to replace one as I found the open hole it fell out of. It was on the starboard side.
But for the life of me I cannot find where the other one fell out of. Does anyone have a diagram of the freeze/core plugs? I would like to see if I can pop it back in or I need to to lift the engine.
By the way, I know that popped freeze plugs are usually a sign of a cracked case but I checked the oil and there is no milkiness. So cross fingers it seems alright.
