Drains

Tim Look on starboard side of engine block behind the starter. You should find a petcock similar to auto radiator. There should be a second drain on coolant supply line at water heater. I use a small hand pump and a length of hose to connect to the engine drain.

Water Heater Drain

Tim I changed out the original Seaward heater years ago. If I remember correctly look behind the heater and you will find an in line drain.

TIM The engine drain from the front is behind the coolant pump. From the back in front of starter. It's very hard to get at. The engine drain is the lowest point in the system. Hope this helps. Mine is a 91 Tall #037
