i just bought this boat the oiler tank was full of water i took it out cleaned it well.hose and pump ball are good. it has wires connected to it i think are a safty device. does the boat motor pump the oil up to itself.i squeeze the ball and it dont pump the oil like that. there is a check valve or something in there so oil only flows out and not back in.i cant get oil up to the end of the hose to prime it.????it seems to all work well.
