Drain plugs go in each side of block. One is towards the front, the other toward the rear.

Look again.

Well here is another idea - Pour water into the RWP hose (elevated above engine). Your drain hole will then very obvious.

Carl, The idea of getting water in the engine and seeing where it comes out is a good one. Looking at a picture may not be that clear. The block drains as mentioned, are diagonally opposed. You haven't mentioned the plugs in the exhaust manifolds. You did find those correct?

Try a search for drain plug on this site. I think I remember a good pic with labels from TRB.

Hey everyone thanks for all the help, as soon as it gets spring again I think I will back her in the river and see where the water comes out. Next year I will replace all plugs as soon as block is drained. Have a great Ski Nautique season...
