Changing oil in a Yamaha 4 stroke

[waterdog101]

Is there a better way to change the oil (engine oil) in my 4 stroke 115hp than just pulling the drain plug and watch oil go everywhere? Is there a less messy way?

when you remove the drain plug, can you put a tube in the hole where the drain plug was. and let the oil drain through the tube in a pan. I don't know for sure, but this might work.
