1997 maxum 3000scr Oil pan replacement without pulling motor out

[Mrpepperguy]

Hi guys,

I got a single engine 1997 maxum 3000. I seen a video on YouTube that a guy replaced his oil pan without pulling the motor out. I have a lot of space to maneuver to access the nuts and believe I can get the pan out no problem. I will be updating my progress. Anyone ever try this?

Got all nuts off.....isn't coming off its about a inch off but feels like something is catching????

May be the oil pump pick up which extends down to such up oil out of the pan.
