Still a newbie, last fall I removed 5 blue wing-nut drain plugs and can only remember where 3 go back in. Where do the other 2 go? One in the front lower hose assembly, and two go back in the block on each side by oil pan. I cannot not find where the last two go. I thought the exhaust manifolds but I can't find any holes to be plugged. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
Gary

Nevermind, also I think that Don has mentioned to get the Mercruiser manual instead on the clone. The clone manual did not have a good picture and the factory manual did.

Bottoms of the exhaust manifolds are your other two?
