oil pan clearance in 98 fever 27
Does anyone know if there are any clearance issues with running a large oil pan in a 1998 fever 27' ? I have an engine in the machine shop that is almost done being built and I have a 12 qt oil pan for it and the machine shop asked me to make sure it would fit in the boat. The pan is about 10.5" tall

Can speak for a 12qt, but I went with a Canton 10qt. The only issue I recall with clearance was the bilge pump.

We don't have our 27 anymore, so I can't measure - but my guess is, as mentioned, the bilge pumps will be the only issue.
You could get a pretty close measurement by installing the motor mounts in the boat and measuring. Once you know that measurement, then put the motor mounts on the block to measure that clearance. ...do some fancy math, and you should be in the ballpark.
