Where is the hex drain plug on the transmission cooler on a 2006 SV211

[miquinn@yahoo.com]

I have been scouring my V Drive and engine compartment for the hex nut that drains the water from the transmission cooler. It is labeled the raw water drain plug on p.29 in the manual Can anyone help me understand where this is located? I have found the Raw water circulation Pipe, Know Sensor, Port side Manifold, Starbord Drain plug, Starbord Manifold drain, the V Drive Drain, but I can not for the life of me find the transmission cooler drain plug.

There is a little metal cylinder in the cooling lines that is about 3" in diameter and about 8" long. Look under the starboard side of the engine laying in the hull. I think a 3/4" heater hose runs through it. there is a small 1/4" square plug in it. The transmission cooler is the cylinder I described.

Perfect. I found it. Looks nothing like the manual, but very easy to find.

I've always thought you could pull the raw water cooling hose connected to that metal cylinder to drain also. Can someone confirm that?

You are correct, actually is a "safer" way to drain since the cooler itself is a light gauge material and removing a "stiff" drain plug can sometimes damage it.

Some engine manufacturers use that fitting to feed water to the dripless packing on the shaft seal
