[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 438685, member: 13599"] Haze - don't feel bad. my dad was a professional mechanic all his life and he did the same thing when he changed the oil in our 1954 Ford (yeah, way back when) and in his haste, he did not see the old gasket still stuck on the motor. an hour into our trip, the oil idiot light came on and needlessly to say, he was extremely upset at himself for such a rookie mistake. [b][i]glad you got it figured out !![/i][/b] I don't know about your motor, but some outboards have a small sump cavity below the bottom drain plug that holds a few ounces of oil and sediment. if you can find a 1/8 or 1/4" plastic tubing, you could suck out the remaining contaminated oil. (but is not really necessary, according to the experts). . [/QUOTE]
