I recently changed the oil on my newly acquired 1995 36mkII for the first time. I used a hand pump that came with the boat, sticking the plastic tube down the dipstick/oil fill pipe. The engine is a universal 30hp. It was really hard to get much oil out. There was simply a lot of resistance as if I were trying to pump thick mud instead of oil. After about forty-five minutes of trying, I had gotten about half of the advertized capacity out and I quit. Was I doing something wrong or it this just a tougher task than I had expected? Would a pump with an integral tank make it easier?The pump seemed to unobstructed and in good working order. I did not run the engine to heat up the oil beforehand, but it was about 90 degrees out that day. Thanks in advance for your help.Charlie
