Question regarding oil change.

Easy-drain tube attached to where the original sump plug was. It's replaced with a long 'hollow' screw that clamps a banjo fitting... Using the tube is the same as pulling the sump plug, provided you have it laying flat, no rises in it.

Finally got the boat out today. I ran it at idle and low rpm's for about 10 minutes and let the oil drain for about 10 minutes. The oil level was the same as when I checked it in my driveway. At this point, the engine appears to be 3/4 of a quart less than what the manual says should be in there, but the level looks fine. I thought that I would "follow up" just in case someone else encountered a similar issue.
