Hey all,
I have a 1985 checkmate exciter with a gm 350 in it. I took the boat out for the first run of the season yesterday and it ran well, but i have a problem with one of the freeze plugs. The plug in the block, right under the starboard engine mount was rusty and blew a hole right through it. Is it possible the support the block with a cherry picker, remove the motor mount and change the plug? Or does the entire engine need to come out?
Thank you,
Christian
