Mike:
Same set up as mine.....no drain plug in the engine (Yanmar 2GMF) and no
drain plug in the Kanzaki transmission. I use a Pella suction pump to
remove the oil from both......down the dipstick hole.....changed the oil
in my Kanzaki this Fall.....it uses the same motor oil as the engine,
not ATF..... 15W40 is what I use in the engine and
transmission.......the transmission takes 250 mils or 0.25 litre....FYI

HI
Persistence has Yanmar 3GM30F with Kanzaki KM3P transmission. The
filler and dipstick cap is accessible on the top and I think there is
a drain plug on the side somewhere that is far less accessible. My
current thoughts are that I should be able to drain the transmission
oil from the filler/dipstick opening using an oil removal pump in the
same manner as I drain the engine oil. I am thinking the vacuum style
oil change pump with a long enough hose to make access relatively easy
Is this a common practice and would it work?
