Default freeze plugs

I just bought a 2005 ex 19 with a 4.3 liter engine. The freeze plugs are out of motor. Is there an easy way to put them in? And is there a reference manual I can use?

    Why are the freeze plugs out? If you didn't take them out then the block froze and pushed them out which means that the block is probably cracked too.
    I hope i'm wrong.

    Not necessarily. My mechanic removed 2 of my freeze plugs when he winterized the boat last fall. Just said stop by in the spring & he would reinstall them free of charge.
