After a beautiful day of cruising, I did my first oil change on this boat (2025 R29 CB). I was able to extract just over 2 full gallons. I was using the dipstick tube and a pump. Is there an oil extraction tube dedicated for the purpose or is the dipstick tube the only way? Also, how much oil can someone get out this way? Thanks.
 
My '21 R31 with a 320 D4 has a dedicated oil extraction tube on the starboard side. I get almost every drop out with a pump. I use a big plastic jug with gallon and quart markings to help make sure I know how much I got out.
This video from Robin shows the extraction tube at about 5:55 min time mark
 
Oil extraction tube is the way to go, it's very accessable and allows for a much cleaner and quicker process vs the dipstick tube.
 
Yes! Thanks, I thought that might be it. I'm sure it works much better than the dipstick tube.
