Several months ago there was a thread about a hose kit that you could replace the oil pan drain plug with,anyone have any info or where I could go to find one?Also what thread is on a 500 efi oil pan plug.
Thanks
Steve

I ordered mine from Eddie marine. Told them the engine & oil pan I had & they shipped me the right hose & fittings

I ordered mine from the Boatfix.com site - it is affiliated with the BoaterEd site. Seems like it was less than $20, small enough to route it out your bilge plug if you can reach down that far. I usually screw a 3/8" plastic hose to the end of mine and attach the other end to a drill pump. Drains the oil much faster this way.

I have one, on my 1999 HP500EFI. It works great after you warm up the engine/oil. It was a Merc part, and it ran my $50 bucks. I am 99% sure it was the Metric fitting.

27Fountain just went through all this. He prolly has more current info than I have. I did mine at winterization. I would have save the package if I knew there were going to be so many questions.

I believe I just saw where West Marine had them as well as a permanently mounted electric drain pump that connected to the drain plug. Might be worth a look...

Teague offers a "easy drain kit" that contains all the parts needed. Apparently its a hose with a cap on it that pushes through the drain hole. Price was around $22.

Thanks for the responses Guys.Two kits arrived yesterday,now all I got to do is turn into a contorted acrobat to get them on.
