I just purchased an 04 Caravelle with a Mercruiser 4.3 MPI. The two blue water drain plugs were out. I found where the top plug goes, but can not figure out the second one. I think it goes somewhere on the front bottom, but am not sure. Can you help?

Thanks!!

5 plugs are fine for a carbed engine, but he has an MPI, and may have the 7 point drain system. Bobby, do you have a serial number handy, Year doesn't help, Merc lists stuff as 98 and newer and go by serial numbers for changes.
