After starting your pump and opening the fill cap to vent the system, it's also a good idea to take a hole punch or nail and hammer, and poke a hole in the top of the oil filter. This will help vent the filter to allow the old oil to drain out of the filter and you will have less mess when you unscrew the filter to replace it. Great videos Eddie!! Thanks for sharing!!!
I have been using your videos for a while now to maintenance my boat. I have a 2006 Sea Ray 200 Select and have been taking it in for oil changes. A friend of mine recently told me a Mercruiser trick that may apply to other boats. If you have an original bilge drain plug that has a chain on it, it's possible that the chain is hooked to a hose that connects straight to the oil pan. If you gently tug on your drain plug chain, you may pull out a long, capped hose from he bilge - this was intended to make oil changes very simple on this motor. No need for a dipstick pump. My friend told me about this on his Bayliner and I just discovered it on mine - I wanted to share my discovery. It's possible that this is common knowledge, but not for me. Cheers.
Great vid but my only question would be.. Does the dipstick tube run to the bottom of the pan to remove all the oil? I guess at least a 1/2 a quart is still in there.
nice video. I put a fitting in where the drain plug was and pluged ti off. When I change it, I run the line out the drain in the back of the hull and pull the plug on the end of the line. I got a oil relocater off of a 2005 blazer and bolted it to the back where the pump for the trim is at........Works great, but you have to pull the motor for that. It was the best thing I ever done
Great video Eddie. If you have a Harbor Freight Green Oil Extractor, you can make an adapter to fit your Dipstick Drain for less than a dollar. A 2" long piece of 1/2" piece and a 3" long piece of automotive heater hose fit the end of your oil extractor. A small hose clamp makes it air tight. IM me if you want a picture.
@@OnboardWithEddie would you do a short service and inspection of the generator I dont believe a video has been done on that. You have so helped out alot of people I reckon.
what i heard is that if you stab a hole into the top of the old oil filter it'll suck the oil out of the filter when you're sucking the oil out, so when you remove the filter it won't spill any oil
Good job. I am from GA. Where did you find the attachment that fits on the deep stick? if use the other kind of pump ,how do I fit in to the Dip stick out let.
hi, every buddy merry critmas from aruba , my problem is , I change the oil off a mercruiser 5.0 when I go to start it doesn't ,what can be the problem
Hi, I just saw the video and had the same question you did as did others, but there is no answer available.. Were you ever able find a pump similar to the one used in the video ? Thanks

This dude was making How-to videos in 2008. Amazing.
Thank you for your support. It takes a lot of time to make the videos and edit and make videos. Hopefully it helps everyone.

Buen trabajo campeón
Thanks a lot!!

nice boat gd job
Punch a hole in top of filter and it will drain into motor nor mess
Could have just cracked the oil filter just a bit and it drain
your oil filter is way too tight ! never more than handtight+a little
punch a hole in the oilfilter, air will come in and the filter is emtpy.
4:48...there is a hole on your shirt~~
it crank bud don't star
I bet that boat gets really really shitty gas mileage.
They must call you Copernicus.
great video......thank you
