Can anyone recommend an oil pump that works well without spending a ton of cash. Change my oil once or twice a season. 5 liter merc.

Re: oil change

I had (notice I say 'had') the electric one. Worked great the first time I used it. Pumped the oil from two engines into a 5 gal bucket, cleaned it up and stowed it properly. :D

Second time I used it, it leaded a little around the pressure side fitting, but jockeying around with it got me through the oil change. :confused:

Third time I used it, I spent more time cleaning the sprayed oil from the bilge than I did changing the oil. It went directly into the trash. :mad:

Now maybe I'll try the hand pump stlye. Couldn't be any worse.
