Problem: Sinking on dry land

[g33km3]

Okay first of all i have a 1985 OMC 3.0 litre with a Galaxie hull, and i have it connected to a hose and all that good stuff but i have a small stream of water coming from the back of the engine. Even when running, could it be i have a freeze plug problem?

Okay, i figured it out....i comes through the intermediate housing, Comes into a special made thermostat tree then exits through the exhaust, so im leaking coming in...but thats with me forcing water through the rabbit ear adapter.

Okay, i pulled the engine, got the core plug, but kragen is closed...Autozone doesnt even carry them....since kragen got me the carb kit after an hour of cross referencing over the phone....im just going to go to them first thing in the morning
