If its anything like the V210 that I have, pull the compartment dividers on either side of the engine. You'll have 2 on the bottom of the manifolds, one on either side of the block down low (port or left side is a bit of a drag - gotta have double jointed hands or an extra digit for this one), one more just to the left and lower than the circulating pump, one below the oil cooler. 6 plugs total if I haven't missed one. IIRC, the raw water gets pulled through the V drive before it gets to the engine. I think you can just pull the intake side of the hose off of the raw water pump to get that one though. I pulled the plugs on the V drive a couple years ago and not a whole lot came out.
FWIW, an old employer had his V210 in his garage, not drained but had a light in the engine compartment. Bulb went out without his knowing. The cracked block cost him his summer and 9K by the time it was replaced.
Ive drained my boat ever since and put a light in the bilge. Small price for good sleep.
