Fortunately it was a small engine with a small sump because it was a

What do you think about the tubes that connect to the drain pan? It
looks like you just run the tube through the bilge drain and turn the
valve. It otherwise just lies curled up below the engine.

The tubing is there to suck the oil out through the dip stick
aperature.
