where do you have the hose routed? make sure your not pulling it uphill or pulling it so tight as to kink it. ive seen where thry make a small loop at the bottom and when you pull on it to gain access you kink it off. follow the hose all the way to the pan to make sure there is no loop or kink. or if you plan on doing it yourself often i would invest in a oil change pump.

Open the cap to allow airflow, and check for kinks like KKo stated. Its a slow stream and I dont think raising and lowering will affect it too much.
KKO
Thanks, I have followed it I don't feel any kinks. I also have the tongue as high as I can get it. So if you use an oil pump.
1st how do you use it?? Does it go through the dip stick hole? Also can you get one at parts store? Also how $$$$
Thanks again

An oil pump normally goes through the dip stick hole. I'd try West Marine or Boatersworld.
Thanks for all the help.
I finally got it done.....But I will be getting a pump next year.

Did opening the cap help?
How did you get it to work?
the mac-daddy one runs about $200 it comes with an adapter for going on the dipstick if you have the threaded dipstick. or you put it right on the end of the oil drain hose. it also comes with a small hose to fit down in the tranny.http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc100/kkotige/oilchangepump.jpgthis is alot like the one i use. this one looks to have a slightly smaller pump but the rest is all the same. im sure it would do you just fine.i found this one on west marine website.

I had the same problem many years ago, what I do now is take it out for a run and then change it once I get back, runs out like water!!!
Thanks again for all the help.
I went out and let it run at idle for another 30-45 mins then it started to run out better but still took like an hour and half to get it drained. Way to much time so I will be getting a pump next year. It also worked great taking the 1 1/4 hose from the water inlet from the bottom of the boat to to run the water and RV antifreeze in to the tranny and engine. I ended up putting 6 gal through it.
