I think I got all my drain plugs, I pulled 2 blue plugs from the block, I pulled 1 per manifold. I also disconnected all the hoses and left off for the winter, I poured 1 gallon of antifreeze throught he thermstat housing and let it run out of the block. did I miss any plugs?

Also would like help finding my oil filter, I can not seem to find it, where is the location of this filter?

thanks

There are 3 plugs and sound like you got them all. The oil filter is located at the bottom of the port side of the boat, just right below the plug that you pulled. I installed the remote oil kit to locate the oil filter to the op the engine to make change it a lot easier. I believe money well spent.

Before you added the antifreeze, did you take a screwdriver or nail to make sure there was nothing in the drain holes, to prevent all the water from draining?
