Does anyone know how this damn hose gets unplugged?

So this is the hose that goes to the oil pan inside a sea ray 02 it’s supposed to make your oil change easier, except I can’t open it. I pulled it through the bilge hole fine. I tried counterclockwise nothing! Clockwise… nothing!!! I tried attempting to pry it with flat screw driver. Nothing!! No videos out there on this darn hose… ANYONE OUT THERE? Enlighten me!!! This can’t be that hard… oh yeah is a damn boat… of course it is.
Im not tryin the pump through the dipstick cus the oil has water and is so thick it won’t even pump so this is my way out…

Two wrenches

Take the plug out the end of the hose. One wrench on the small square pipe plug, one wrench on the hex sleeve

Lefty loosy, righty tighty

Not sure what to tell you. It's not that hard. Are you using quality tools?

You can always suck the oil out the dipstick.

However if you have water in your oil, the motor is coming out

Just cut the end off and use a barbed fitting with a hose clamp and plug. I had to do that to mine as the crimped fitting would not fit through the bilge drain. I still have to remove the hose clamp before feeding it through, but so much better than sucking oil. Make sure you warm the engine prior to draining. It makes things go much quicker.

If its really stuck, and only iff its really stuck. just use a vice-grip on the plug and a vice-grip on the hose end hex.

when tightening, NPT is only 2-flats past finger tight

Thank you! yes pumping the damn thing is a nightmare…

I also had water in the oil due to blown head gaskets. The way I got it out was I carefully used a heat lamp to warm up the oil pan monitoring the heat with an IR heat gun to make sure it didn’t go over about 150 or so. If using a vacuum pump you want it warm not super hot because it will collapse the vacuum hose. I then ran the engine on the hose, drained all the water out of the engine & changed the oil 3 times, each time draining out water first. Left oil in the engine drained out all water & replaced cyl heads and still running well 5 years later…
