You aren't hitting waves at 60 mph at 5500 rpm. If you see oil pressure at idle you have enough oil to idle. The less you fill, the less you have to mop out of the bilge. At 5000 rpm pump is drawing oil 6 or 7 times as fast as at 750 rpm.

Update:
It was warmer than expected so I got out there after work and got 3 more cycles of clean oil through her (4 total now). Whats coming out is starting to look a little more like oil. The good news is that I found a local Merc master tech who can bring a trailer down to my neighborhood ramp, haul her back to his shop, and pop the heads off to get an idea whats going on in there for a very reasonable cost. We're gonna do it on Wednesday so I'll soon know what the situation is. Thanks everyone for the advice and I'll keep you posted! |
Blown, My Sunsation had the oil drain tubes like you posted from CP performance. While it did save the mess in the bilge, it took forever for the oil to drain. Just a warning.

I had a hand pump but bought an electric one from West Marine and much happier with it. It’s 12v with alligator clips so I just set it in the bilge and tend to other duties. It still struggles with cold oil though. I installed one of those drain hoses while the engine was out because there’s no reason not to but haven’t had the chance to use it yet. It does have a threaded fitting on it and may connect it to the extractor pump. |

I was speaking with GoFastBoater yesterday and he told me he's done the same but added another drain plug in the transom just for this. He doesnt even need to get in the bilge now lol. BTW Thanks GoFast for your advice and offer of help!
