Thanks - I'll do that. I also think there are brass drain plugs on the exhaust manifolds. If so I'll do the same there.

Can someone explain where the circulating water gets exited through the exhaust? By that I mean what hoses take the circulated water and discharge it into the exhaust area? In looking at a Merc 888 water cooling diagram (raw water system, NOT closed system) it appears the water is first brought into the lower thermostat, circulated to the water circulating pump on the front of the engine (circulates water throughout the engine block) and also circulated to the exhaust manifolds. Then, as the thermostat opens the water gets circulated to the risers. From there, out the exhaust(??). Can someone help clarify.

Thanks
