DRAIN
THE
SUMP
The engine oil should be warm. Remove the oil drain
hose from its attachment bracket and lower it into a con-
tainer and allow the oil to drain, or attach a pump to the
end
of
the drain hose and pump out the old oil. Make sure
the oil drain hose is capped and properly secured in its
holder after all the old oil has been drained.
NOTE:
Thread size
for
the lube oil drain hose capped end
is
1/4
NPT.
Always observe the old oil as it is removed. A yellow/
gray emulsion indicates the presence
of
water in the oil.
Although this condition is rare, it does require prompt
attention to prevent serious damage. Call a competent
mechanic
if
water is present in the oil. Raw water present
in the oil can be the result
of
a fault in the exhaust system
attached to the engine and/or a siphoning
of
raw water
through the raw water cooling circuit into the exhaust,
filling the engine. This problem is often caused by the
poor location
of
the syphon brake. See WESTERBEKE'S
Installation Manual.

REPLACE
THE
OIL
FILTER
When removing the used oil filter, you may find it helpful
and cleaner
to
punch a hole in the upper and lower portion
of
the old filter to drain the oil from it into a container before
removing
it.
This helps to lessen spillage. An automotive fil-
ter wrench should be helpful in removing the old oil filter.
Place some paper towels and a plastic bag around the
filter when unscrewing it to catch any oil left in the filter.
Inspect the old oil filter as it is removed to make sure that
the rubber sealing gasket comes
off
with the old oil filter.
If
this rubber sealing gasket remains sealed against the
engine block, gently remove it. When installing the new
oil filter element, wipe the filter gasket's sealing surface
on the engine block free
of
oil and apply a thin coat
of
clean engine oil to the rubber gasket on the new oil filter.
Screw the filter onto the threaded oil filter stub, and
tighten the filter firmly by hand.

Use genuine WESTERBEKE oil filters - generic

REFILL
THE
OIL
SUMP
Add fresh oil through the filler cap. After refilling
the oil, run the engine for a few moments while checking
the engine's oil pressure. Make sure there is no leakage
around the new oil filter or from the oil drain system, and
then stop the engine. Then check the quantity
of
oil with
the lube oil dipstick.
If
the engine requires additional oil,
fill to, but not over, the high mark on the dipstick.
