I'm winterizing my 2000 38ZX for the first time this year and I'm doing it per the manual. 5 plugs and removing 2 hoses. I can't seem to find the drain plugs on the port side of the motors. Does anyone have some pictures of where the drain plugs are. I'm sure I'll eventually find them but I get cramped up standing in a awkward stance while feeling for them.

when i looked monday i do not recall seeing any on the port side. we pulled 1 from each of the headers, 1 from the front on the bottom, and 1 from the starboard side about mid engine.

I just pulled 6 each from mine and I think I missed the one in the cool fuel

I found the port side drain its more towards the rear of the block instead of middle. The starboard side is easy to locate its right next to the dipstick. The fuel cooler was a biotch the blue plastic plugs were rounded off. I wish my gf could of taking a picture of me the was I was hanging over the port motor.

You better look again, there are block drains on both sides, and both need to be drained if winterizing.

We pulled out motors Monday for a top end refresh so don't need to winterize per se. When I walked around the motor out of the boat I only saw a male nipple on the port side which had a tube on it prior to removing engine (guessing water inlet). didn't see any drain plugs.

someone end me a pm I have a good picture of port side engine...idk how to post pictures
