Any sites on how to change the oil / regular maint for your boat?
 

Its time to change the oil in my boat. (My dealer did the first one) I
really dont want to trailer the boat 1 1/2 hrs just for him to change the
oil.

Are there any good sites that go thru how to do it? (What is needed,
etc...) also - what type of maint should be done at what hr mark?
Oil about every 20 - 25 hrs.
What else??

Thanks for any help you can offer this newbie.

Valvoline Instant Oil Change pumped out my boat's oil for free.... I just
asked the manager which day was their slow day, and very politely asked if
they would evacuate the oil from my I/O for disposal. (I mentioned to him
that we have 3 cars which we service there, as well:) I would have gladly
paid 'em $10 to do it, but he offered it for free. Back home, I removed the
filter with an oil pad under it and replaced it, put in new oil, and I was
done.

If you can change your car's oil, the boat's not much harder once you get
the oil out of it.

I just did mine. The manager at the local West Marine suggested
I use a "Oil Boy" to suck the oil out through the dip stick tube.

You run the tubing down the hole and make it air tight. 8 to 10
pumps on the Oil Boy tank it creates a vacuum and the oil goes
into the Oil Boy tank. Transfer the oil into one gallon jugs and the
trash man takes it away.

This was way to easy.
