I have been studying the posts relating to winterization and I don't see exactly what I'm looking for, although it might be buried in one of the threads. I winterized an old Mercruiser for 15 years and then purchased a newer (1996) boat with a 350 cu in (5.7L) Mercruiser MP EFI Maxum engine and I'm not positive where the drain plugs are. I understand the basics of winterization - just want to be sure I open each drain plug and pull each hose that needs to be pulled. I don't think I have an oil cooler or power steering on this boat -a 225 1996 Chapparal. Also, is there a step-by-step set of instructions somewhere besides in a manufacturer's manual for this particular engine - soemthing I could download or a web page I could go to? I appreciate the help.
