Can someone confirm all the plugs for draining a 98 350 MPI Mercrusier (2200V)?

Seems like I've seen a few different answers to this question, but I want to make sure I get all the plugs and such.

Can somebody confirm the number and placement of my drain plugs? There are a few of them (blue plastic that I can unscrew by hand) that are obvious but it's kinda tight down there and don't want to miss one or two of them. Also, should I be looking for a knock sensor plug and something on my V-drive?

Thanks in advance...just trying to keep from cracking something over the winter.

In my 97 there are 6 blue plugs. Not exactly what you were looking for, but it might help?

For the V-drive, take the hose off at the transmission cooler and water will drain out. Next blow out the hose with either your mouth or air compressor. This will force water out the v-drive to the intake in the bottom of the boat. Next I dump RV antifreeze in the hose untill in comes out the intake in the bottom of the boat. Then I put the hose back on the transmission cooler and tighten the clamps.

There are 6 on mine as well:

2 on the engine block (one on each side)
2 on the exhaust manifolds (underneath on each side)
1 near the water pump (mine's on the port side near the impeller)
1 underneath the fuel cooler (starboard side back towards the alternator).

It doesn't get that cold here so we don't normally bother with anti-freeze, but it might be a good idea where you are.
