Make my life easier

[macojoe]

I have 2 items.

First is for the I/O guys. I am not a fan of them oil pumps for changing the oil!! I belive they never get the slug like when you pull the plug!
What I did (have no pic) is took a square plastic fish tote, the clear kind like at the fish house were they store just the meat.
Drlled a hole in one end, 5200 a piece of metal tubing in it. Add some plastic tube with a T on it. one short pointing up, add long tubing and go out the bilge drain to a waste bucket.
Undo you oil drain, all oil goes in pan, down the tube, out the boat to your waste bucket.
The short tube going up is a vent or the oil won't drain.
They now have a thing you screw in place of your plug, that just unscrews to drain and tighten to close, better then having to find the plug in the oil pan!


Second thing I have done, is tie a rope to my wheel chocks at the ramp, I always chock when loading boat at ramp!! seen to many trucks in the water!
Hook the oter end of the rope with a S hook to my Safty chain.
When I get in the truck to pull boat out, the wheel chock comes with me, I pick up later.
