Hi Carl.
For my first oil change I purchased a hand pump and inserted the small diameter tube into the dipstick tube, then pumped away. Nothing happened. I then tried using a larger diameter hose which fit right over the dipstick tube and brought the pump out of the engine compartment, and tried again. This time I was able to extract about 4 liters with no problem. It looks to me like the dipstick tube extents all the way to the bottom of the pan. There was likely still oil in the pan because, as you said, the angle of the installation makes it impossible to get it all, but I was happy.

Hi there folks. I'm not actually all that new in that I registered some months ago. I am introducing myself now. I'm Pete. I bought Sirius III, 365 hull#338, docked at Ladysmith B.C, over a year ago. Its been great so far. She is in good condition and I am starting to get quite comfortable with single handing her in Georgia Strait. I also have a 44' wood troller/longliner 'Robust', that I fish out of Ucluelet B.C. I have learned plenty from this forum already. Glad to be here.
