The Mercruiser Oil Extractor typically features a capacity of 6-8 quarts, with a hose length of approximately 24-36 inches. It is designed for marine-grade oils with viscosities ranging from SAE 10W-30 to SAE 40. The extractor is constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or similar corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring buoyancy and durability in marine environments. The pump mechanism is manual or electric, with a threaded or quick-connect fitting for secure attachment to oil dipstick tubes. Grade compatibility includes conventional, synthetic, and blended marine engine oils.
Marine Pumps from Mercruiser are available in various sizes, including 12V and 24V models, with flow rates ranging from 3-10 gallons per minute (GPM). They are built from stainless steel, brass, or reinforced thermoplastics for corrosion resistance. Viscosity handling ranges from light fuels to heavy oils (up to SAE 90). Buoyancy is not a primary concern for submerged pumps, but float switches may be included for automatic operation. These pumps often meet ABYC, USCG, and ISO marine safety standards.
