Shurflo Winterizing/Marine Oil Change System 8050-305-426, 12V Self-Priming Pump Kit with 3.5 Gallon Bucket
The Shurflo Winterizing/Marine Oil Change System (part number 8050-305-426) is a complete, self-priming fluid transfer kit built for winterizing, oil changing, and general liquid transfer on boats and other vehicles. At the core is a premium general purpose 12V DC diaphragm pump with an internal thermal protector, so the motor is protected from overload during use. The pump is rated for a flow rate of 1.5 GPM and draws 4 amps, and it can run dry without damage, which makes priming and draining tasks simple and forgiving.
This system is suitable for pumping engine oil, automatic transmission fluid, low viscosity gear lubes, and anti-freeze solutions, giving it broad utility for routine maintenance and seasonal lay-up. The kit is easy to install and comes complete with everything needed to get started: an 8 foot suction tube (1/4 inch OD, oil and heat resistant), 8 foot battery leads with alligator clips for quick power hookup, a dipstick probe, a hose kit, and a 3.5 gallon storage bucket to collect the fluid being pumped. The pump body is made of polypropylene, the diaphragm is oil-resistant Geolast, and the valves are Buna-n, a combination chosen to hold up to oil, antifreeze, and other automotive and marine fluids. The unit is CE listed and measures 16 inches H x 12.5 inches D.
