I bought a 12v suction pump from Amazon. It takes MOST of the oil out but it's always worth taking the drain plug out as well, to make sure every drop of oil is drained out. Plus it makes less mess in the engine bilge. Take special care of the dipstick as they are about £50 each!!. PRM say run the engine out of gear for 15 minutes prior to draining the oil out. I like your method of checking the oil level...very handy tip!!
Perfect timing to put the video up as I'm about to change my gearbox oil and could find no video anywhere elsewhere about how to do it. I even rang PRM to ask whether they did a video, but no they don't ?!. So many thanks !
@@robtheplod Thanks for your reply, it's appreciated. I'm planning to do both my Beta 43 and PRM 150 oil change this weekend. And will let you know how it goes ! (via your email link if that's ok) . Many thanks

Some great tips especially measuring the oil level and drip tray. Solid DIY vlog. Cheers
thanks Will, and that is thanks indeed coming from the master of DIY boat maintenance himself! :)

That's very kind of you - I hope it was useful. Shame its all blurry but i thought it gave the basics! Have you got a PRM 150 also?

@@martinalmaazul5319 Hope it all goes well.... Got to service my engine again soon also!
You don’t need to wind the dip stick in,just put it in and if it reads half full without screwing in it actually full 🤔😉👍
I suck mine out with a £10 12v oil pump from Lidl 😊
