Merc 3.0 drainplugs

[NCOffSeason]

I'm helping a friend winterize his 3.0 and I was wondering how many drain plugs this engine has.<br /><br />It's a 96 Bayliner with a 3.0 Mercruiser with an Alpha outdrive.<br /><br />I found the one for the block and the one for the manifold, but while searching, I found a reference to a third plug.<br /><br />Any help would be appreciated.

That's all there are unless you have power steering. Some have drains on the fluid cooler.
