Hi there. Just picked up a new to me 1980 Sylvan with a Mercruiser 140 in it.
It's starting to get cold here at night so I'll be draining it after every use.
The Exhaust Riser drain plug is missing and replaced with a bolt. The manifold plug and block petcock are fine though.
I don't want to remove the bolt in case it opens up a can of worms I can't deal with right now.
I've got a lot of things to check out/fix on this thing before winter arrives shortly.
Is there an alternate way to drain the riser, or is it even necessary?
thanks
