Ok guys I need your help. So Saturday we had a great day of boating go in for the night and then sunday nothing. So I pulled the 2 plugs I could reach and one of them was full of water for sure. This was from sitting over night. This is on a 05 sampan with a 4.3 i/o. Does anyone have any tricks for getting the rest of the plugs out that I can't see and reach lol.
