Oil Pan Removal

[Mike and Joanne Stimmler]

Paul,
I still think my way is better.
Buy a case of beer.
Invite all your dock friends.
Have them all stand on the bow.
Drain your oil.
Drink the beer before, during and after draining the oil.

Now doesn't that sound like more fun? 

P.S. Rum works too   

[Paulus]

Definitely more fun,
Paul

Going to be raising my engine and wonder if I should be replacing my oil pan while I am in there... just because.

I did have some corrosion from my raw water pump but mostly just surface, but who knows.

kable : I saw something on this board where someone replaced the oil pan while the engine was in the boat.  However, it will not be an easy affair!! 
Best if the engine is out of the boat and in an engine stand upside down!!

kable : I'm not too sure how much you know about engines, but all of those oil pan bolts need to be evenly torqued !!
