MerCruiser I/0 Oil changes GRRRR!

I've owned two boats (Regal) that have had MerCruiser V6 I/Os for power.

Does anyone else out there want to strangle the design engineer(s) that put NO drain outlet in the oil pan? You have to go buy some cheaply made, plastic, P.O.S., pump that you have to chuck up in a drill, stuff a TINY little hose down the DIPSTICK TUBE, in an attempt to remove the oil from the pan! Insanity!!

Does anyone know of a valve/device made for these engines that can be installed to PROPERLY drain the oil??? Or am I going to have to design one and get a Patent myself?
