2. Remove the dipstick. Wipe clean and reinstall fully into the dipstick tube. Wait 60 seconds to allow trapped air to vent.
NOTE: Ensure that the dipstick is installed with oil level indication marks facing the rear of the engine (flywheel end).

Changing Oil and Filter
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule for the change interval. Engine oil should be changed before placing the boat in storage.
IMPORTANT: Change engine oil when the engine is warm from operation. Warm oil flows more freely, carrying away more
impurities. Use only recommended engine oil (refer to Specifications).
