I picked up one of these pumps from Boaters World to try out. I suspected it wouldn't be all that great, given the price, but figured what the heck since I was splitting the cost of it with my brother:
POS Oil Changer
Don't waste your money. In its defense, I think it was defective. The guy at the store warned me that it was slow. I let it run for 15-20 minutes and it only sucked the oil up about a 1/2 inch up the line. I read the directions again, and it said it should take only about 5 minutes.
So, anyone have an opinion on using the tube that is on the end of the drain plug and runs out of the bilge drain hole? I'm contemplating just using this, but I've been told it is VERY slow and the oil only trickles out. My previous boat was built in the early 1970's, before they thought of things like this.
Someone who has used this please help me out. I'd like to know whether I should seriously look into some other pump.
Thanks.
