What is the best method of draining oil, there is not alot of room for a pan down there, I was thinking about getting a thin pan and makeing a hole in the side of it and running a tube from it to drain the oil out the the bottom, to another pan. Is this to much work or is there an better way??? ------------- The Guy. |

1. Pump it thru the dipstick tube... you can get a suitable pump at auto parts or marine store.
2. Buy a drain kit that attaches to the drain opening and has tubing with a cap on it that you can route thru the drain in the bilge. Hope that helps. ------------- Joe D. http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb202/joedelbecq/BoatAngle.jpg - 1986 Ski Eliminator |

oil suction type through dip stick tube:
Drain kit from pan drain through hull drain hole: 
Before you buy a drain hose kit, Check the fitting size on the oil pan. I don't know what H/M used for a pan. Also check the distance to the thru hull in the bottom of the boat for the proper hose length. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

This is mine, homemade. It's not marine grade hose, but in 18 years it hasn't caused any problems.
