Remember the old Century with the rotted out engine plug that was ****ing
water out the side of the engine? For those people not familiar with
this
story, it wasn't a "freeze" plug. It was a heavy, threaded plug in the
side
wall of the raw water cooled (GM) 350 engine that rotted away over time.
I noticed it after starting the engine and saw a healthy stream of water
coming out of the side of the engine.

I also had that happen to the 350 in my old runabout. It was right
underneath the exhaust manifold on the port side and a real bear to
replace.


That's the one. In my case it was temporarily fixed with some Marine Tex
to get through the remaining boating season and then the plug was replaced
after hauling. The Century's engine access was horrible and the plug was
virtually impossible to replace without removing the manifold.
