I have a way cool thing on my early model spare motor: the old style oil change pump. And I have a working spare for this rare item that I would like to put on the (late model) motor in my boat. For those of you unfamiliar with this thing, it is a permanently mounted oil extraction pump mounted on the port side of the motor under the fuel pump. Most of these items are lost to the ravages of time (dried seals, etc...) but through some miracle of long term storage both of mine work great!
But here is the question: If I wish to use the oil port on the port side of the engine for an the old style oil change pump, where can I run my Indigo Oil Filter return line? The old style oil pump goes into that port and so does the oil return line for the Oil Filter.
Could I drill and tap a fitting into my reversing gear cover? Valve cover plate? Any ideas or am I stuck with two cool things and only one place to put them?
