What's the best device to assist in changing the gear oil?

I change fluids in several of my engine driven devices, etc. I have a
vacume pump used for auto mechanics. Nice little device with tubes and
catch jars that can get almost anywyere. You can probably get one at
the local autoparts hardware store. Mine is in a neat little carry
case, bout the size of a timing light case.

I have this one:

I'm hoping there's a cheaper, simpler alternative! That is cool though.

Cheaper?? How much did you pay for the boat? Mine gets the most use if
I overfill something... Anyway, I did not notice the price when I
posted. I bought mine 20 years ago but some kind of suction pump
is handy in any garage, check wallmart for a cheaper version sometime,
great to have around even if you don't use it on your boat.
