Quick oil change question - need a pump...

[watchinthebobber]

I'm gearing up to do my first oil change (annual) on my boat since I've owned it. I would like a recommendation on a quality oil pump to buy. I've looked at a few (manual vs. electric) and found mixed reviews. Can someone recommend a pump that will do the job good and won't break the first time I use it?

It will be used on a '94 Bayliner Capri with a 4.3 Mercruiser I/O.

Thanks!

Check out this one at Northern tool (only $39). I just bought it an it works great for changing the oil on my 4.3. Also, I use it to change the oil on everything else I own (lawn mower, snow blower, 4 wheeler ect. ect.)

I've been using a 12v one like this:

for 13 years. It does a good job.

Thanks rgood44!

The reviews definitely look good on that unit and the price is right.

Right now it's a toss up between the Topsider and the Moeller pumps. The Moeller runs about $63.

I was looking at those too and while the price is right most of the feedback that I've read is that they don't work too well. Glad to hear it's working good for you.
