hey, anyone know a good *quality* place to get an over-sized oil pan for the 225? Preferably Stainless.

As a fellow Minnesotain, I will be the first to ask... WHY?

I am mainly asking why about the stainless. There may be a reason to add more capacity

good question fellow Minnesotan. I have a pontoon that I am going to mount the slant on. It will sit in open air at the rear and I was thinking that the oil pan would probaby rust like an old can with piss in it if I didn't try to get a stainless one. There would not be open water below the engine of couse, but I just figured....hey...someone's gotta make a stainless one! I suppose a good coat of paint over steal would work too.

If you cant come up with a stainless pan, try that sprayon bedliner stuff.

Excuse me, does this smell like chloroform to you?

I would think that a stainless pan would crack from the vibration.

How much bigger you want? A stock rear sump truck pan is a quart bigger than a car pan.

Mike Jeffrey makes bigger car pans. I think they hold 2 quarts more than stock.

Once you get the bigger pan why not have it powder coated? That should hold up to almost anything. The bedliner idea may hold heat. It is a thick product.

When I was an electrician and we installed outside disconnects and panel boxes over near the beach in Daytona, we would spray them first with a cold galvanizing compound. It came in a spray can and can be found at most good hardware stores. It protected the panels pretty well in the salt air. Another thing you could try is a coating called either hammerite or hammertite.I'm not sure which. It also comes in a spray can and can be found at hardware stores. An advantage with using the hammertite is that you dont have to sand the part you're going to spray. Clean it up real well and knock off any loose rust, then spray it on over the remaining rust.

Just Glyptol that puppy, it seems impervious to most everything and the red color is kinda cool too!
