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.

I am interested in those. Do you have any pictures or other information on them?

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.
