Recommendations for oil change pump

[BillWilliams]

We just purchased a 1999 260ss with a MerCruiser 7.4 MPI in it. It has the thread attachment on the dipstick tube for sucking the oil out of the engine.

In years past, I remember using a hand pump with a brass body and rubber ends for this on my dad's boat and it was a freaking mess.

What recommendations do you good folks have?

Thanks

Only the 'tank' is different. I find mine is an odd shape for transport/moving.

They work GREAT, just remember to pop the 'vent' cover when using. Else it won't work.

Looks like they improved the pump since I bought. I always thought these were overpriced, but after having it now a few years, worth every penny.

3.5 gallons can do both of my engines in one shot.

Don't mess with the hand pumps, and don't mess with the drill attachment pumps. I've done both and wanted to die. Get one of these things and be done with it.

I've used this for a few years now, works great! I do both engines and generator with it. Holds the oil from all 3. One thing, make sure that you engage the pump in the right direction. The pump is bidirectional so you can pump out the container when you're done. A friend didn't check the direction...what a mess.

When my funny shaped one pump dies, I'll get the bucket one. I only use it 1x a year, so for now I'll deal w/it.
