Oil Drain Hose

[niagararob]

Thanks for the info Charles. Never thought of getting under a boat when its on the lift and no trailer. Suffice to say, the horizontal bolt in the middle of the circle and no hoses emerging from under the engine leads me to believe that I have no drain hose.

Yea, seems that way and almost for sure, someone took it out. I'd contact Nautiqueparts.com and see about getting what you need to put it back. It's really quite handy. Without it, you're either going to have to extract through the dipstick tube which is risky, or pull that plug, let the oil dump into the bilge and then drain the bilge. That's hella messy.

Lots of risky holes out there but the dipstick tube is not one of them, pushing in too far is user error. You only need to get the motor temp up to about 100deg and the oil will flow fine. Either way is safe when done correctly, dipstick or drain hose.

When I change the oil, I simply remove the brass plug and thread the "snout" of the oil extractor in. It draws the oil out into a can and I later empty it at Jiffy Lube.

I attached a female fitting to the tube on my extractor pump that mates to the male fitting of the drain tube from the motor. It's not a huge improvement, but it's nice to be able to make a secure connection between pump motor and pump as there's no risk of the tube falling out while being pumped. I let the pump do its thing while I do other things (e.g. change impeller, etc) without risk of bumping the tubes and spilling oil.

Yea, I looked at that too, but it would mean modifying my extractor and I don't want to do that. I use it for more than the boat. I change the oil in my gas power washer and mower every spring. With those, the standard "snout" works well. Your mod is certainly neater and if I wasn't using the extractor for other things, that's exactly what I would do. Cheers!

Anyway, the factory drain hoses that come with these boats are just super convenient. I remember when I bought my 99 the mechanic at WLM told me specifically, do not use an extractor down the dipstick tube. At the time, I didn't ask why and simply used the drain hose. After one of my buddies got his stuck in the dipstick tube, I knew why....

OP pull your engine side access panels, lay down on the starboard side locker facing the port side, stick your arm under that oil pan and start searching. it would be a fairly blind job to remove the oil pan hose adapter. there is a lot of hoses and tubes down there.

I have the female brass end on my oil extractor and it causes zero mess or spillage. As far as the snout used for other oil extraction applications, I put a male brass fitting on the other end identical to the oil factory drain hose fitting which makes the oil extractor completely universal for all oil extraction situations

I don't think you're quite following what I'm saying. For my lawnmowers and powerwasher, I requre just the plain, plastic snoot. No fittings. It's the only way I can use the extractor with those engines.

I'm with you and I have the same issue and to get around that problem I did the following: My plastic snoot from the extractor is followed on the back end by pliable vinyl tubing and on the end of that tubing is a male brass fitting that I screw into the female brass fitting on my extractor. When I'm not using it to extractor oil from my lawnmower, I remove the plastic snoot piece along with the vinyl tubing thereby just having the female brass fitting which is attached to the oil extractor with vinyl tubing which I use to extract the oil from my G23 if that makes sense. Hard to explain without showing you pictures. I can send some this spring if you are interested in this method.

Oh! Ok, yea, I see what you're saying now. Neat setup!

I just love these extractors. They're handy for all KINDS of things. My neighbors borrow mine all the time.

Cheers!

Yep they are awesome and a super time saver. All these brass fittings and vinyl tubing are available at any Lowes or Home Depot. During set up, I just took my extractor into Lowes so I could visualize how it would be set up next to the brass fitting/vinyl tubing section. Works like a charm on multiple applications.
