2017 nautique gs22 pcm zr4 engine

[cooperchevy01]

I have a 2017 Nautique Super Air GS22 with and PCM zr4 engine. I just purchased the boat last year and am now doing the first oil change on the boat. I know ill sound dumb but i found the drain hose under the engine. But how exactly do i drain the oil? i cant find a valve or anything to start the flow. also where is the drain under the boat???

Purchase an oil extractor and run its drain tube up into the drain hose you are describing above. One of the most useful purchases you will ever make for boat maintenance.

I understand some Zr4s have a short drain hose attached to the oil pan. If so, you run the hose through the hull drain (take out the drain plug) and catch the oil below the boat in a container.

Ok I have the tube hooked to a fluid extractor but still nothing came out. I am not real sure on this. somthing dont seem right

I do not know who put this together (maybe Correct Craft), but it is excellent. https://planetnautique.com/CorrectCraftManuals/ocp.pdf Exactly for your engine and needs.

Yes. Change the raw water pump impeller every spring regardless of hours.

This is perfect. Last question and ill leave you guys alone. Is it possible to change it without getting it up to temp?? I have no way of getting the boat in the water just yet...

The boat should be equipped with a fresh water hook up to run it on the trailer and get engine up to temp, or you could use a fake-a-lake to draw water up.
your definitely going to want to get engine up to operating temp before draining oil.
