Marine oil pans |
Marine oil pans are subject to special
conditions. The lack of air flowing around the Oil Pan creates
higher oil temperatures which destroy the lubricating properties
of the oil in low capacity oil pans. The motion of the boat in the
water sloshes the oil in a pan without the correct baffling. Air
could get to the pickup resulting in momentary oil pressure loss.
The oil also can be tossed into the crank which can foam and aerate
it. The pounding effect of oil in the pan can also cause fractures
in pans without reinforcement. The design and construction of CANTON
Marine oil pans makes sure there are no problems in the roughest
conditions. These features are included in all our pans:
High Capacity Sumps to combat heat and add longevity to oil.
Trap door baffling to control oil slosh.
Removable windage tray to hold oil down away from the crank.
Powder Coated finish and brass plugs for corrosion protection.

Accusump oil accumulators |
| Boats are subjected to some of the roughest
motion, which affects the oil pan. As a boat moves through the water
it pitches for and aft, rolls side to side, and pounds up and down.
All this movement affects the oil in the oil pan. Imagine holding a
ten gallon fish tank filled with oil in your lap as you’re pounding
out the waves. It’s easy to see how the pickup could become uncovered
and oil pressure could be lost momentarily. An Accusump can protect the
engine from damage during these times. In addition, boats sit at the dock for long
periods between use so the oil drains out from between the bearing
surfaces resulting in a dry start. An Accusump can provide pre-oiling
before start up for longer engine life. |

CM Filter Technology |
CM filters were developed to better protect expensive racing engines.
A filter was needed that would handle a continuous high flow of oil while filtering out small particles.
The flow should not be restrictive even when the filter is partially contaminated and all the oil should
be filtered all the time. The element should not be affected by moisture which erodes paper elements, and
it should withstand pressure surges without collapsing or rupturing. The CM filter element meets these
requirements and overcomes the shortcomings of conventional filters. In the years since their development
CM Filters have proven themselves in NASCAR, SCCA, IMCA, IRL, NHRA racing and in countless other
automotive and marine applications.
