Anybody have a newer Mercruser 3.0 liter? This would be the one that has a hose connected to the oil pan. Supposedly this hose is will come out of the bilge through the drain plug hole and then you can un-cap it to easily drain the engine oil. The problem with mine is I can’t seem to get it[the hose] all the way out of the hole. It just doesn’t want to fit, sure looks like the hole isn’t big enough to accommodate it. Nothing major I guess, just though I would see if anyone else had this problem.

never heard that, just connect the pump to the end of the hose and suck it out.

Mine went through kind of hard but it did go. I just grabbed the metal tether cable with a needle nose pliers and pulled it through.
