Title: BBC Sport Pac 19' Commander Oil Change
Post by: hbkeith on February 23, 2018, 11:05:34 AM

I just bought my first jet boat. I have had several other boats and hot rods and do almost all my own work. My question is what is the easiest / cleanest way to change the oil since the oil pan goes pretty deep into the bilge and access is pretty limited.

A lot of jet boat oil pans have a drain hose coming off the drain plug if you have that push it out the Boat drain plug hole and open it up takes a little while I usual leave mine over night

Hi,
Yeah I have had other boats with that drain hose. Unfortunately this one doesn't have that so, I was just looking for tips before I make a mess.

Thank you for the reply

Harbor Freight sells this vacuum pump. It works perfectly. Worth every penny. You won't spill a drop.
