Ford 429-460 10 Quart Stern Drive / Jet Drive Performance Oil Pan
Marine oil pans are subject to special conditions. Closed engine compartments create a lack of air flowing around the oil pan causing higher oil temperatures, which can destroy the lubricating properties of the oil in low capacity pans. The motion of the boat in the water sloshes the oil in pans that don't have correct baffling. Air is ingested through the oil pick-up resulting in momentary loss of oil pressure. The oil is tossed into the crank, which foams and aerates it. The pounding effect of oil in the pan cause fractures in pans without reinforcement.
The design and construction of these oil pans insures there are no problems, even in the roughest conditions. Here are just a few of the oil pan features:
8 qt Pan Capacity
14 ga. Steel Construction
Double Trap Door Baffles
Removable Windage/Anti-Slosh Baffle
1/2" NPT Drain Fitting
Provision For our Pan Mounted Dipstick
Powder Coating & Brass Plugs For Corrosion Protection
The oil pump pick up was designed for use with a mellings oil pump PART # M-84DHV or similar.
Example: 570-224-41144V
These oil pans offer a value unsurpassed in the marine industry today.
WARNING
Don't be fooled by twenty year old technology that requires you to replace engine main fasteners to install your windage tray. These pans use state of the art pan mounted windage tray systems offering you the future in oil control.
