I have the optional drain kit on my ‘05 SV211T with ZR6 engine. I can see the brass plug for the drain but I can’t get to it to drain the water. Does anyone have any tricks or ideas on how to get at it? I crawled into the starboard locker and couldn’t contort my 6’1” 210lb body around to be able to get at it; (thought maybe I would have to call 911 to get out!)

Update: I had to pull the floor that was covering the starboard ballast tank and (of course) the divider then I was able to crawl in belly down into the locker and reach the drain plug. I drove the trailer up and down hill to get all the water out. After that I reinstalled the plug, took off the left hose coming out of the water strainer and put a 4 ft piece of garden hose wrapped with duct tape into the hose clamped it with hose clamp, started the boat and sucked 2 gal RV antifreeze into raw water system through the hose. I reattached the hose to the strainer, emptied the water out of the strainer. Removed the batteries and the boat is ready for winter.
The PCM manual does warn you that the drain kit does not ensure all the water will drain out of the system. That is why I drove the trailer around at different angles and put RV antifreeze into the system.
