Going to change the oil in my volvo penta I can't drain the sump the only way I can see of getting the old oil out is through the dipstick any ideas anyone?

Pela oil extractor! Good for bleeding fuel systems too.
Is there what looks like a second dipstick tube near the dipstick?(probably with a plastic cap on) Most VP's have it and it is a tube that goes right to the bottom of the sump for oil suckers and you can use a rubber tube to put the oil sucker pipe straight on the top of it, get the engine hot first and it will be a lot easier and quicker.
If you have to do it through the dipstick hole you will need to use small bore pipe down it as the dispick tube will stop at top of sump level.
