Jabsco 18080-0000 Permanent Oil Drain Hose Kit, 1/2-20
The Jabsco 18080-0000 is the Jabsco permanent oil drain hose and fitting kit. It replaces a standard 1/2-20 thread engine or gear case drain plug with a fitting and hose that stay installed, so at oil change time the hose is simply routed to a container and opened, with no reaching under a hot engine and no oil in the bilge.
Changing oil through the dipstick tube or a permanently plumbed drain line keeps used oil off the engine and out of the bilge, which is why oil change pumps are standard equipment on many boats. Warm the engine first so the oil flows freely, keep the suction end at the bottom of the sump, and never let a flexible impeller pump run dry for more than a few seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the pump slow on cold oil?
Cold oil is thick. Run the engine for a few minutes first, and keep suction hose runs short.
Q: How do I store it after use?
Pump a little clean light oil through it, then store it dry and protected from dirt.
Q: How do I know my drain plug thread?
Check the engine or gear case manual, or remove the plug and check it. This kit is made for the 1/2-20 thread.
Q: Should the engine be warm?
Yes. Warm oil is thinner and pumps faster, but let it cool enough to handle safely.
