Re: tube by dip stick

I believe you hook a pump to it to remove the oil, mine was like that, but it was the actual dip stick tube.

Yep, that's for draining the oil. You can attach a pump directly to it with a garden hose attachment. Many manual & electric pump kits are available right here on iboats.
