The real trick for us is getting the oil filter off without making a mess. Takes about 5 minutes with that arrangement. The remainder I get with a thin tube lead down the dip-stick shaft, suctioned into a canister with a shop vac attached to a spout on the cap where the hand pump would normally be attached. I attach a length of 1/2" hose to the pump's spout and lead it to a gallon jug wedged in front of the engine and usually manage to get somewhat over 4 qts with that arrangement in short order. On our boat, access is somewhat awkward but doable and the short throw of the pump is a help. The throw on the pump is quite short but it will move an impressive amount of oil. It is not difficult to get the old oil out of the engine, but do change oil when it is best able to flow.Ĭlick to expand.I believe the oil pump is standard equipment as I've not seen a 4-108 without and I've seen quit a few. i sought and failed and i have plenty of space under my perkins. Oh, btw- many engines, if not most, in boats have no oil letter outter on the bottom of pan.or access is so fail there should not be one. ( i mean, ye KNEW they couldnt manage the container of used oil, duuh, WHY did ye allow him to manage the dipstick?) Oh yeah and if someone is holding parts for ye as they are oily, donot allow em to drop the disptick into the bilge. the diapers are pricey, and the mess is immense. You then trip the container holding the old black oil, causing some to dump into bilge. using this i can get about all the oil out. I stuff a plastic hose down the dipstick of my engine and then i affix it to a brass pump which is manual.
