Freeze plugs
Get a 1" (or so) wooden dowel rod (centered on the freeze plug) and tap the freeze plug in gently with a hammer. After it starts, work around the edge with the hammer directly on the freeze plug until the plug is flush with the block.
We always carried several plugs, a dowel and a hammer on the boat; especially in salt water.
Good luck
