I have this one, and it is messy, but it does work if you prime it properly.  https://www.amazon.com/Shoreline-Marine-Oil-Changer-Volts/dp/B004UOU6L0/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1477260707&sr=1-2&keywords=oil+change+pump 

The hand pump types with a bottle would be less messy, but you need a 1/4" tube to fit into the crankcase with the dipstick tube removed. I was not able to get a bigger nylon tube down the fill pipe, and it enters the side of the crankcase anyway, which would make it difficult to get the tube on the bottom.

I would appreciate a recommendation on an extractor pump.
