Oil Extractor at West Marine

[scokill]

I'm not a big fan of West Marine as they are usually significantly more expensive than others, and don't have great service in the stores. With that said, their oil extractor has been pretty good for me. The one I had was 12 years old and the plastic finally just disintegrated. Went and bought a new one at a store location close to my house. $63.99 is a good deal. Just FYI. WEST MARINE Manual Oil Changer, 6.9 Quart | West Marine

This is very timely, thank you. I have been using one of the cheap chinese $20 pumps from Amazon the last 4 years. It finally died. It ran pretty hot and was slow. But did the job.

I was just about to order another, but may give this a shot. There are a ton similar to this on Amazon, but slightly more expensive.

Same one I've been using the last four years. Very happy with it.

I use that one its slow but it works great...............you need to warm oil up first

Same one I have used for 5 years. I like it. I have used it to pull water from hard to reach places also.

I've got a mity vac I use in the garage that's similar to that but powered by compressed air. I have a smaller manual one I use for the boat and such that's like a sphere, I think it was about 40 bucks.

Been using one of these since I bought this boat, no issues. About as easy as it gets. Scroll down, they even have a picture of someone draining a Yamaha. LOL. I have no affiliation with this company.

Do you guys use any other oil & filters other than Yamaha 4W 4 Stroke & Yamaha filters? Something higher quality? 210 FSH Sport 2022 wondering about 10 hr maintenance. TIA

I use KN filter and Mobile 1 synthetic. Meets the spec in manual.

I haven't ever warmed up 14 seasons going 15. Never noticed that it was slow.

After having several manual and cheap electric models my wife bought me this one a few years ago and it turned out to be one of the best gifts she has ever given me. It does the job with no effort on my part and would be faster if I ran the engines on a hose to warm up the oil but that takes effort and triggers the risk that I screw up and run the engines with out water or run the water without the engine on. Now I usually change the spark plugs while the oil is being extracted. Whatever you get, I recommend it have at least the capacity to hold the used oil from both engines if you have a twin engine boat so you don’t have to empty between engine oil changes.

the electric models are generally more expensive than the manual models but now that I’m older my body is forcing me to consider how much my time and effort is worth.

This was the level of a 2 engine mr-1 HO complete oil change in the extractor. Yes, I pulled the drain plug on the oil cooler, it's in there.

West marine is probably a rebranded EWK. I have been using EWK for years, great little unit. I have the pneumatic version that hooks up to the compressor, its super fast.

i use one of these...

 

[HangOutdoors]

I use this one. $30.00, and it is small enough to keep in the boat or in the kit in the trunk in case I need it when away from the house. Works fine. I did put a longer hose on the one end.

I have the same one and love it. Used to use the manual type but it was no fun. Now I just hook it up to the battery and suck the oil out and then pull the plug on the backside of the engine to do a complete drain, sucking it out of a small 1" deep pan with no mess. For the $$ I'm very pleased and will only go back to the manual kind if I absolutely have to.

I brought the drain up to the top of the engine to get the last bit out....
make sure you put a rubber tip on the oil tank wand to keep from damaging the screen...
works like a champ...

Riva used to sell had hard line kit to do that,

Can you give us a link to the fitting you used ?
Does the rubber cap stop the oil or does it have an on/off valve somewhere ?

 

[84rzv500r]

actually gravity stops the oil there should be very little crankcase pressure in a normally asperated engine in good health... a small clamp secures the rubber plug...

i think i documented everything in the build thread... I did make the banjo bolts myself but there are plenty of alternatives...
