Oil pan magnetic?
« on: October 06, 2010, 14:19:31 pm »
I was thinking of getting a magnetic heater to put on the oil pan( as boat is going to be stored outdoors over winter) but am wondering if anyone knows if the oil pan is magnetic?
I have also seen the stick on silicone pad heaters but I would think that the magnetic heater would be more efficient.
Thanks!

our engine has two oil pans. the lower pan is steel and yes will accept a magnet. The upper pan is cast aluminum and obviously wont.

not a bad idea though
