One word, Oilboy! Awesome and simple hand pump (easy) extractor.

Can be had from West Marine etc. for about $50.

Oh ya, I use a handpump with my application. Works great when pulling from the bottom of the pan. Rare possibility of leaving any gunk in there unlike pulling from the dipstick.

I bought all kinds of pumps that weren't worth a chit. I finally bought this one. It works great, and you'll be surprised at all the usages you'll find for it.

I resemble that, and its not funny anymore. I spent all weekend upside down changing a leaking oil cooler. Should have just pulled the motor as usual.

So how big of a hull drain plug do you need to have to successfully accomplish this?

Just the standard drain plug will work.
