Time for the first oil change on the genset since we bought the boat. It's a Westerbeke 8.0 BTD, not sure of the age. It's red, but I think most Westerbekes are, so that probably doesn't help.
There is a heavy rubber hose - like fuel line material - coming from the bottom of the oil pan up to a bracket on the side of the engine. There is a threaded fitting on the end of the hose, with a brass cap on it that does two things - keeps the end of the hose closed, and also holds the hose in the bracket. (I took a picture of it, but can't find it on my phone right now.)
I'm assuming this is for extracting the oil from the oil pan, yes?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
