Blue Drain Plugs
Hello Guys, I have a 2009 Sea Ray SLX 250 with a Mercury 496 Magnum engine, I pull the blue drain plugs total of 3 two on the right side and one on the left side, I installed the ones of the front of the engine but one on the back right side I cannot find where it goes. I should have take some photos before pulling them. anybody has an idea where it is located?
I'm gonna give it another try and see if I can find it, if not I'm going to use the earmuffs and run water though the engine and see where it comes out. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I bought the boat about 2 months ago so I'm on the learning curve on this one, I had several boats but none with a 496 Magnum Engine. THX! Pete |
Ditch the blue plastic junk before they leave you stranded or break off in the hole. Get stainless steel replacements.

Your 496 should have 2 on the seawater pump (down low starboard side towards the front of engine), and 1 on the port side towards the front of engine on the water drain valve.
