Has anyone used a hardin/cp perfomance 12 qt extreme offshore oil pans in their 33 ft AVS with standard mercruiser stock mounts? , aside from ordering the pans, putting on a bare block and setting in the boat which I hate to do, I cant really tell if it will clear or not. My measurements put me a 8.5 to 8 3/4" at half the centerline of engine to curve in bilge, they show pans 10" deep BUT clearly its NOT 10" deep at outermost edge, using there supplied engineering drawing I finally received its still questionable. . Anyone ran one of these in their 33? 420-910530

Heres a pic we blew up on computer screen and held a straight edge on it, not exactly to scale but you get a idea of what Im trying to figure out:

Aren't the bravo drives mounted high on the transom in those boats? I would have thought you'd have a lot of clearance.

Sorta. The pan in question is 10" deep. 15.25" wide. equally spaced each way outward. Laying a straight edge a crossed my engine mounts with engines out, I have like 15," on inboard sides of both so at least 5" of clearance from pan to bilge. On outsides of both engines, however , if you go about 7 3/4" from center line then down, you have about 8.5 to 8 3/4" before your hitting fiberglass. IF pans were square like the 14 quart pans, then absolutely WOULD hit and engines wouldnt go in the boat. The 12 quart is angled upwards to account for this some. I was trying to get a answer out of cp then Hardin on how much clearance this angle gives me and it took a little while to get a answer but they did provide a drawing not posted on their website, smitty
