I'm new to this board and to boating. I've looked thru the old post but coun't find my answer. I have a '68 Mercruiser w/ 120hp GM in-line engine. My manual (Seloc) says I should have 3 drains, I can only find 2 (manifold and block). The only thing I see on the exhuast elbow is a large screw that requires a 1/2" ratchet. Am I missing something? How do I drain any water in the elbow? Thanks for any advice - you folks are great.

Kach,<br />I think if you drain exhaust manifold and block it will do the job. <br />I did not drain elbow on mine. You drain manifold and water from the exhaust elbow will be drained as well.
