syphoning tranny and V drive oil? and fuel ?

[hsmunoz]

I figured out the engine oil change, but I am having a heck of a time getting anything out of the V drive(syphoning through the dip stick) and a little more, but still not enough from the tranny. What is the best angle for the boat to be in, while on the trailer , in order to get the most out of these two fluids? what do you DIY experts do?


also , has anyone gone ahead and made drain hoses for these two places, like the engine oil pan? if so, where do you tap?

lastly, PCM manual say's 87octane, but CC manual says 89?

thanks

thanks Wake, I had done that , but no one had made any quick drain hoses in my search. I guess I will just have to match up the plugs when I pull them out. Was hoping to have the hoses ready, and minimize any mess. looks like I will just tee off the lower hose of the V drive, and then figure out where the tranny fliud low point is , and do that as well.

Fluids are cheap insurance, and I change mine often, not so much because of wear, but because of the enviroment. All that moisture....So I am going to go with 50 hrs for everything. just want to be able to knock it out it an hour, without a visit to the chiropractor afterwords.
