Default Mercury 40hp 4 stroke 3 Cylinder

Can anyone tell me how to do oil change on my mercury engine. It is fitted on the boat at a drying out mooring. I've got the oil filter and oil. I'm sorry this is a basic question but I dont have any knowledge and have limited resources.
Thanks
Alun

Most people use a pump and go through the dipstick tube. Then change the filter and refill..Make sure you have some rags handy to catch spills from the filter..
