1987 Merc 205 V6 GM Drain Plugs

[tedmiller]

I have only found 4 drain plugs, 2 on each side of engine. I cannot locate my engine manual or serial number but wondering if there are only 4 and not 5? I see videoes for one in the front but so far have not located. Any help would be great.

vortec manifolds have a drain on the front of the manifold.

in addition of the 4 drains you found, also pull the large radiator hose and drain the power steering cooler.

however its a bit late to be draining for winter

Thanks Scott. I'm actually putting them back in getting ready to flush start before I put in the water. This will be the second season I have owned the boat so first time putting plugs back in. I winterized with a buddy and only had 4 plugs which I found and put in but a lot of videoes show 5. I cannot locate the manual or serial number. I guess when I put the muffs on, I will see if I missed one. Better before I put in the water LOL I have a 1987 Four Winns Candia 200 It has a GM 205 V6 with thunderbolt ignition. Thanks....

being the second year. how are the bellows? gimble bearing? alignment? impeller? did you do that maintenance when you got the boat?

Scott, I bought the boat from my neighbor, original owner main performed each year. Short answer no. I will have that checked. All I have done thus far is carb rebuild (dude may have ripped me off), oil change, new battery and gear lube change.
