To change the spark plugs, the ones on the left side (driver's side) of the engine are accessible from the top of the engine under the hood. The plugs on the right side (passenger side) are accessible by pulling the right front wheel and removing the rubber dust cover (pops off) that attaches to the fenderwell. This is assuming that you have a 5.0L V8 engine (302ci). Have Fun!!!

Freeze plugs, also known as core plugs or expansion plugs, on a Mercury 350 V8 boat engine are typically located on the sides of the engine block. They can also be found on the cylinder heads, depending on the specific engine design. Their primary function is to protect the engine from damage due to freezing by allowing coolant to escape if it expands when frozen. To locate them, check the sides of the engine block and the rear of the cylinder heads for small, circular metal plugs.
