Default What oil pan to use?

What brand oil pans do you guys like to use?

I'm looking for recommendation for marine application, 540 CI with Dart block.

Thank you

I assume you have 1 piece RR. main seal.

Here is what I used on my 540's

I also installed these so no more dry starts:

I have a few of the Keith Eickert cast aluminum pans.
New they were over a grand each. think you can get them around $700 each now.

If you like I will let two of them go for $400 each.
They are either 12 or 14 quart,.......can't remember off hand.

Smitty,

Dart uses the 2pc rear main seal.

Thanks

Canton also makes pans for the 2 piece rr main seal. They have all kinds of pans.

Are you looking for steel or aluminum. I went with steel to save $$$$$.

I use the Canton 18-364 - BBC REAR SUMP MARINE POWER PAN (18-364)
A little more money but it a nice pan.

Thanks

Make sure you will have enough clearance under those KE pans. The stringers in our boats are close to the bottom of the motors.
