I decided to take on the task of changing my oil in my port, starboard and Genset. This was my first attempt at doing this. My boat is equipped with the jabsco oil changing pump and it has three levers to control which engine oil you can pump out. My initial pump out was to be for the port engine. I wound up not only pumping the port engine but the generator as well, No problem as I wanted to change that oil anyway. I filled both the port engine and generator with the correct amount of oil. Then I moved to the starboard engine pumped out the oil and replaced it with fresh oil. I then went up and started the engine and within a few seconds my oil pressure alarm went off. I came down to check the oil and it showed nothing on the dipstick in my port engine. so obviously I pumped out the port Starboard engine. Anyway I’m trying to figure out what the correct configuration is for the valves on this pump to make sure it is shut off.
