Hi,

I have drained the Engine on my boat a few time now but I have came across differences in different engine manuals. In one there was a reference to draining the intake manifold. Should this be drained or will it drain when I have the other areas drained?

I have drained:
Block (2 sides)
Exhaust manifold (2 sides)
pipe into / out off raw water pump.
Pipes to the Thermostatic housing
Pipe to the circulating pump

If this should also be drained is it the square plug behind the belts of the engine, if so the bracket supporting the alternator is blocking it, or does it have a drain else where.

It would be appreciated if someone could comment and give a photo or good description of the drain location.

Thanks

Vinny
