I ordered a complete cover that straps around trailer from boat covers direct to fit my 2007 Sunesta 254. Fit is not great but will keep things covered up for sure. If you already have snaps, I would go the custom route as other have suggested.

@cjm13905 any luck finding the 6th plug?

Here is IBP for a 5.0L that shows six drain plugs, impossible to know if this your exact setup without serial #. Hope this helps.

What year is your boat? Some 5.0 L only have 5 drain plugs per video below.

If you go to www.marineengine.com you should be able to find illustrated parts breakdown for your engines year and serial #. Hopefully this will show you all the plug locations. My 2001 chap had six plugs and they were a PITA to find. My 2007 only has four with the single point drain system...

Might be worth the time to clean/replace the IAC filter first. Its kinda like that filter screen nobody knows about at bottom of cool fuel module :) It could possibly never been cleaned or changed out. New IAC valve is $185-$205.

I have a 2007 Sunesta 254 (i realize they are different boats) and based upon the location being above the rub rail on the port stern side, it has to be some type of deck fill as it is keyed. That is almost the exact location of where I fill my fresh water tank. There may also be an option for...

Do you have a fresh water holding tank?

Spoke with him last September on some winterization stuff thru email.
