I've always changed all my oil in everything I own. However the 9.9 Tahatsu weights almost as much as I do, so I can't yank it off the transom easily. How does one change the oil and filter with out looking like the Exxon Valdiz. I thought of using one of those oil suckers that will pull it out of the filler/level check hole and using a baggie and oil absorbant sheet under the filter. I don't want to pollute the Chesapeake Bay. - thanks

I use the sucker, the trick I've found is to run the engine to operating temp so the oil is heated and transfers more smoothly.
