It can be hard to control 14-15 qts of oil sloshing around in when the boat is in and out of the water. I've seen so many pans leak at the timing cover seal and the rear seal from oil sloshing in the pan.

Fair enough, but I will be calling when I get to the point of needing new pans.

BTW - that finished paint looks good.
