Dan,
I took a look under the motor and made some measurements. The oil drain hose is on a swivel fitting that stubs out of the bottom of the oil pan in the center. The keel stringer is about 1/4" too high for it to clear. I'll trim the stringer down and re-glass it before I install the motor. Thanks again for the heads up.

Dave
