9/16" or 14 mm wrench opened my Aqua Muffler drain.
I operated the diesel to suck Ban Frost 2000 into raw water system for winterizing.
And happily the fluid started to flow from the drain.
The fiberglass muffler may have a leak which I intend to locate & repair with Marine-Tex.
Removing the cover will require removal of the exhaust hoses on either side of the muffler.
So winter tune lay up fix.
And I always complained about wooden sailboat.

Scott-
Mine works/opens as it should without the whole assembly coming out, but I've never gotten any drainage out of it when I expected to. So, I'm guessing it is gunked up inside the muffler next to the drain hole.

the fiberglass. I just screwed it back in. No leaks afterwards.
