The oil pan is ridiculously thick and not prone to failure. I was terrified when I bought my boat in 1991 that the flakes/sheets of rust that were pulling off from the bottom of the pan would go right through. In fact this was a major reason for getting the engine rebuilt in 1993. Ha ha ha! The rust barely marked the bottom of the pan, and, it turns out, used replacement pans are very easy to find in part because they don't fail.
