What is everyone doing to set up a drain hose on a Dooley pan? I just got one for my boat and am trying to figure it out! Such as what fitting do I need. If possible can people post some pics so I can have an idea and info. Thanks

Look on CP Performance. E-Z oil drain kit. $26

I'm about to redo mine, which currently comes off the side. I will weld a female 1/2NPT bung at the lowest point on the rear surface, making sure there are no clearance issues with the flywheel. From there, run as large a hose and fittings that will fit through the transom plug, for maximum flow. I like JIC 37-degree fittings and hydraulic hose.

Just saw that one. Still need a 90 to turn it out of the boat.

Over the years hearing people talk about the nightmare, timely, pain in the ass job it can be to change oil in a boat, when I built mine I said there has to be a better, easier, faster way to get the oil out of the pan in a boat. I came up with this; off the right rear of the pan I installed a fitting and 3/8 braided hose with a male -6 union with a cap that is mounted on the side of the block. Then I took a Chevy oil pump tapped the inlet 3/8 pipe for a fitting and a hose for the suction side to connect to the hose from the oil pan. I also tapped 3/8 pipe from the push side to some 3/8 push loc hose to shove into a one gallon clear plastic container (Arizona Green Tea) and I use either a ½ inch drill or a 3/8 drill because I made a reduced shaft to adapt to the Teflon sleeve and I can suck 8+ quarts out of the engine in 10 minutes with no mess. I have used this method for every oil change in my boat in the last two years, love it!

What is the an fitting size coming out of the pan for the 90*?

I revise that question. What 90 fitting did you use? Is it 1/2 20 thread pitch? Trying to figure the exact fitting size

If I remember correctly the threads in that pan are 1/2 pipe, so the fitting coming out of the pan is male 1/2 NPT and on one of the flats the hole is 1/4 NPT. The blue 45* AN fitting is male 1/4 NPT to male 3/8 AN and that's where the red & blue -6 AN and hose take off from.

I have a hose coming from my pan also. But the fitting and cap at the end doesnt fit through the drain at the pump. So i feed another hose up through the drain and attach it to my drain hose. I let it drain while I enjoy a sandwich. It takes a while so plan on a day where there isnt much to do or while polishing the boat.
