Jabsco Porta-Quick 17800-2000 Portable Marine Oil Changer, 12V Reversible Pump, 14 Quart Capacity

The Jabsco Porta-Quick Portable Marine Oil Changer (17800-2000) provides quick, mess-free oil changes on board without crawling under the engine. It removes oil and sludge directly through the dipstick tube using a 12 volt, sturdy bronze pump head, drawing spent oil into a 14 quart holding container sized for use on 2 engines. The pump is reversible, so once the oil change is complete the same unit can be run in the opposite direction to empty the container cleanly through its retractable pouring spout.

The kit includes an 8 foot power cord with battery clamp connections, a 1/4 inch by 40 inch dipstick probe for reaching deep into the dipstick tube, and a female garden hose connector as an alternate suction attachment. The unit is backed by a one year limited warranty. Its compact, upright housing measures 13-1/2 inches in diameter by 13-5/8 inches high, making it easy to store in a lazarette or engine compartment locker between uses.

This oil changer is designed for boat owners who want to perform routine oil changes at the dock or on the water without disconnecting hoses or lifting the boat, and it works with engines that have an accessible dipstick tube.
