Mike,

I think the reference to the drain plug in the oil pan refers to the 
location where there was originally a hand pump, low on the port side of 
the engine behind the carb. I still have the old hand pump for the oil, 
and it works well for me. It has a pipe thread plug into the block, but 
I was only able to remove the top of the hand pump itself, and I 
continue to use that, but most people have removed it, I think. Moyer 
marine sells a kit (www.moyermarine.com, search oil change kit, then 
scroll about halfway down that page) for about $40 that threads in that 
opening, or you can probably dip a tube down in there with a hose 
clamped to it, their picture is self-explanatory.

That location seems to be the preferred pump out port, though I have 
heard of people going in through the dipstick hole. You can use a cheap 
drill pump or a hand pump. The "boat department" (such as it is) at K 
Mart sells a hand pump for about $10 that I use when I need to pump gas 
out of the tank...

The mechanic had suggested to me to buy the biggest jugs of the cheapest 
oil you can find for this job, probably at K Mart or Wal Mart. If the 
oild is mikly looking it will take a lot of changes, f there is much 
less water, probably less.

Again, good luck!
