    Default Re: location of oil drain plug

    If i remeber correctly the drain plug should be near the back of the oil pan either on the side or right on the bottom. do yourself a huge favour and invest in an oil drain hose kit. This will replace you oem drain plug and come with a 4' or so long hose. When it's time to change the oil just fish the hose out your transom drain plug and into a container to collect the old oil and open the plug and let it drain while you tend to something else. No more mess in the bilge! If you do your own oil changes it is $30 very well spent. Here's a link to a sample one but make sure that the threads are the same size as you have on your engine:
