Serious bad luck that one.

I would try what Boason says but I suspect it will be difficult to find the end. The drain plug on my motor is hard to get at... a Volvo MD17c.... and the bilge is narrow. Boason's idea sounds ok for the future, as long as you can get to the valve and the hose does not perish or the fittings snap.

With willing hands and about two 1/2 hour sessions with a wee crane, engine out and in again is not too difficult. I would not use the boom.... it's too hard on it, for my motor (780 lb) at least.

I will remember this lesson.
