I think that area next to the distributor is where you would have the oil pressure switch and sending unit if it was for changing oil I believe it would be attached to the drain plug(oil pan)
when I read the manual last time there was one place it said wasnt the right spot,not sure which one it was...
I will have to take a photo, the 1/8 fitting in the top of block has a brass T, out of the top of the T is a short hose that attaches to a cast aluminum bracket that supports the electonics and also is a feed for two oil sensors, one I am sure goes to a dash mounted guage, the other sensor must go to a light or low oil alarm? This black hose that I am referring too comes out side of T, it not connected to anything and doesnt appear as if ever was......
I can see a check valve in the end, but is definetly odd to me, I have perused the manual I downloaded and no answers there, so far.
Was also wondering about oil changes, today we got the motor sitting on the motor mounts and the motor sits at a substainsal angle. The drain plug is on the front of the pain and I suspect that is not very accesiable once the motor is in the boat. Now,Ii know its common to draw the oil out the dipstick tube, which is very small. But the dipstick tube is not at the back of the motor. So, is drawing the oil out the tube the normal method?
