Can anyone tell me how many and where the brass frost plugs are located on my motor?

No serial # the stock motor in a 1992 Bayliner 1950 Classic.

Items 2,3, and 4 are the plugs you have.
Looks like a total of 5 to me.

Hope this isn't highjacking...
Are these the ones to be removed for winterizing?
I was under the impression that there were only 2 to drain for winterizing along with the ps cooler if applicable?

These are not Frost or Freeze plugs.

They are CORE plugs,just there for casting the engine.They use sand to cast the block,and these are access/exit holes.For sand.

Not a Safety Stop at all,for freezing.

Engines crack with them still in,engines crack with them in the bilge.

Sometimes we find the core plugs in the bilge,and the block ISN'T cracked

But your engine does have DRAIN plugs,and that is what needs draining.
