Jabsco Permanent Marine Oil Drain Hose Kit 18080-0000 with Reinforced Hose and Threaded Cap
The Jabsco Permanent Marine Oil Drain Hose Kit gives boat owners a clean, repeatable way to change engine oil without the mess of disconnecting hoses or fumbling with a dipstick tube. Once installed, the kit stays in place on the engine, so every future oil change can be done simply by gravity draining or by connecting a Jabsco oil changer pump to the hose end.
The kit is built around a 1/2 inch - 20 threaded oil drain fitting that offers two hose connection points, allowing the hose to be oriented in whichever direction suits the installation. A reinforced, flexible, oil-rated drain hose runs from this fitting to a convenient location, where a hose hanger secures the free end above the oil line to prevent drips and mess between changes. When not in use, a threaded cap seals the hose end to keep the system clean and ready for the next service interval.
The kit includes the drain plug fitting, the oil drain hose assembly, the hose hanger, and the cap, giving you everything needed for a complete permanent drain setup in one package.
