Oh *&$%!!!
Any advice would be great on: we were changing the oil in our Westerbeke 46 by placing the usual clear drain tube down the dip stick throat. Got too much tubing into the sump and it doubled/knotted over on itself and when we went to extract it, the tubing broke in half. So, we have probably 1 - 2 feet of tubing (I was explaining to the first mate that too much tubing was going in and...) in our oil sump. We're going to try to get access to the sump drain, we'll have to collect the remaining oil in flex-strength plastic bags, and then try to use a pick-up tool to fish out the tubing. Is anyone aware of any other potential access to the oil sump? (we're supposed to be in the ocean as we speak!!).
Thanks for any wisdom you could share, and I told you so's :-)
