During Winterization of my Mercruiser 165 Inline 6, I was only able to locate 2 of the drainage petcocks. They had brass inserts for quick draining that I removed and stuck a screwdriver in to be sure there was no blockage. I ran a whooooole bunch of coolant thru it after draining the water, but am I missing something?? I haven't gotten it back running yet this spring, but am a little nervous at this point.

Thanks!,

The IL6 has only 2 that I know about. 1 on the port side just above the oil pan gasket, 1 on the bottom of the exaust manifold.
