Well it is the time of year again. Time to change the engine oil. Last year I borrowed a friends electric oil changer. This year I wanted to get my own. I did the research and none of the electric units that were under $100 got good reviews. However the manual Mityvac http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JFJM14 got good reviews so I purchased one.
Today I hooked up the water line to the out drive and fired her up. She started right up like she always does. After the idle smoothed out, I let her run for about 30 minutes. Until the tatle tale water was nice and hot. Then I shut her down, setup the Mityvac and followed its instructions. The oil came right out with no mess, no fuss, worked GREAT.
Four quarts of fresh Amsoil 5w-30 and a new Amsoil marine duty filter. Everything buttoned up, turned the water back on and fired her up again. No leaks. Next stop the lake.

This blog documents the restoration of my 1974 Norseman DC. If you have any information on the Norseman please send me an e-mail as I am trying to learn as much about them as possible.
