"Made my first boat purchase an 1977 17" Reinell V bottom boat with a 120 hp mercruiser stern drive and I want to restore it without changing too much of the original boat look. Their are 4 holes on the rear boat with hoses attached to them but I dont know where to hook those hoses to the motor after someone took them off. I do know one of the hoses connect to a bilge blower but have no clue what to do with the remaining hoses? I was also told I would not be able to find the plastic vents to cover the holes, is this true?

ps.. that's not a 120 mercruiser engine, thats a Volvo Penta engine."
