How far can VRO pump?

[naytep]

I have a '78 196 Fam Fish. I have no where to store battery and VRO in the stern. I hate anything out on deck. So I am pondering some under seat boxes. I would like to put the VRO and batteries up there. Can the VRO be that far from engine? Should be about 6' linear, about 10' of oil line and wireing. I would love to hear some imput. The engine is a 89 150 Evy.

Never really measured the hose but mine was mounted in the console of my 222 CCP. I would think there was at least 10' of hose snaked through there and out 26" beyond the transom (bracket mounted motor).

The oil siphons that far, no problem. (don't ask) :o

should be no problem, most of the center consoles in out marina have the oil tanks in the console.

Yep.  Here's the VRO tank on the Seacraft I did...

I once heard of a VRO pump that pumped all the way out to the ledge and half way back!

Thanks for the howdy do Bob. My boy said I needed to show up. Now I'm wondering where he is. Have you seen that little gal of his? I wouldn't be hangin out on an internet forum either.

I'm here- usually scanning during my down-time at work, or the scraps of free time I'm allotted at home.  I've been told by the gal you're referring to that a large portion of my time needs to be "Quality Time", which our individual definitions of vary greatly       Really, though, I can't complain    

Good to see you more active over here pops    Hope you stick around.

So do I!  You might want to introduce your Dad to the rest of the forum, Jessie...

Some of us have been fortunate enough to have met her. She's a sweetheart!

Jessie hit a home run there

Stick around Boatdude!
