There are drain plug set ups you can hook to the hose with a small chain.

a little air pressure to dipstick also helps when cold. Years ago I purchased a 12 volt pump fuel/oil friendly cheap off ebay and bolted to the cover of a 5 gallon bucket. All self contained and quick. I'm pretty certain you can purchase however I just put one together with a HD pump for under 60.00. Hot or cold took btwn 3-5 minutes per engine for oil change.

Sutphen30 called it: Cracked block. On the outside.
Getrdunn called my need for a case of beer in that circumstance.
I cant really explain it as I pumped until -200 was coming out of both exhaust pipes, then put in another gallon of the pink. I even walked out back over the tie bar and drives (my boat is suspended on the lift over the river) and wetted a white paper towel to be sure of the color. I remember this well because I had a lot of difficulty with the other motor on the port side (which are the farthest from the dock), antifreeze was only coming out one pipe so I blocked off the coolant lines on that side and eventually got antifreeze to come out the other pipe using a transfer pump, just before the sun went down.
Jason Moffit of C&C marine who has it now said maybe some passages were blocked up and didnt get antifreeze. He also said it takes about 5 gallons per motor and while I cant remember exactly how much I used, im pretty sure it was that much, im guessing 3 gallons per side. Hard lessons.
I want to thank Jason for helping me over here. Will report what's next.
