Hopefully your parts store had them in stock!!Thanks all,,,,, that was the right oil filter. You all are great.
you should be fine, I just did mine and I was able to take out about the same. Something very important that the guys always point out is to put back exactly what you took out.ok I am boat changing oil now and I pumped out 3.5 qts... Should I be concerned and how much should I put in?

The original poster has 1.8L engines which hold more oil. On the MR1s in our boats you can find a spot toward the back of the engine where the extraction hose will go down lower and allow you to get a little more oil.What am I doing wrong or missing when I change the oil in my 2006 230 HO? I run the engine to warm the oil and change the oil while in the water. I get less than 2 quarts of oil out of each engine. The oil levels were close to full (cold) prior to warming and changing. This is second oil change I have performed and I have gotten the same amount out each time.

Are you counting the oil in the filter as well?

Do you check the oil level with the boat in the water after changing? In the best case our oil changes are partial changes. If you are removing and adding 2 quarts and the dip stick shows a reasonable level when you are on the water with warm engines then you are fine.Including oil from filter still doesn't take it noticeably past 2 quarts. I have moved the hose around, let the engine cool down to see if any more oil drained back down, etc. I just don't get out what others do. I want to make sure I'm missing something obvious or have a bigger issue at hand somehow.
I do. I replace with 2 quarts (matching what I pump out), warm the engines, check the oil, and its all good. It's at the top mark on dipstick.Do you check the oil level with the boat in the water after changing? In the best case our oil changes are partial changes.

10/4. Thanks for feedback. Heading back out this weekend and will check it a few times each day as i usually do right after an oil change just to make sure it's at an acceptable level.I think you are fine TOGA. If you have oil on the dipstick range I wouldn't be concerned. You can always send an oil sample to Blackstone Labs if you are concerned about the oil breaking down. 100 hours is not a lot of time on the oil.
Another voice calling me to move to TN.
