    Dosn't your boat have a rubber hose connected to the oil pan drain plug?

    If an oil extractor has softer, more pliable nylon hose, its very easy for the end of the dipstick tube to put a nick in the nylon when the end of the extractor tube hits the pan and starts to turn up. This nick acts as a notch and catches on the dipstick tube. The higher grade professional extractor use tubes that are more rigid plastic like. They will not get nicked like the nylon ones and also make it easier to tell when you've hit the pan.

    Glad you where able to get it out.
