Drain Points on 2006 VP 5.0L EFI

[superpop]

Hi folks, I am picking up a new boat tomorrow and will river trial it. After that I want to drain it but have not got the factory manuals yet, can anyone tell me the drain points on this motor. I am assuming 4 or 5. One on each side of the block, two for the manifolds, and maybe one for the crankshaft mounted raw water pump in the front. Any other drain points I need to worry about.

Thanks

If you go to the site below and download the owners manual for that engine model, it will show you exactly how to drain it.
You really do need to know the engines full model number or VP serial number to get the right manual.

The 5.7GXi-GF covers a few models in 2005 and 2006, while the 5.7GXi-H is a completely different set up for 2006 and 2007.
One thing to remember, engine and drives do not go by year for parts or manuals, only by model numbers and SN's, that's the same for Merc.
The year on the back of the boat is for the BOAT, not the engine.
