🔌 Function

The dipstick is inserted into the engine's dipstick tube to give a direct reading of oil level against minimum and maximum marks. It also allows a visual check of oil colour and contamination during routine servicing.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Bent or kinked shaft that will not seat fully in the dipstick tube
• Level markings worn, corroded or no longer legible
• Loose or damaged handle, cap or seal allowing oil mist or pressure to escape
• Inconsistent or unreadable level readings between checks
• Cracked or perished grommet at the tube causing oil weeping around the dipstick

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the level with the boat at its normal attitude and by the method given in your engine's operator's manual, wiping the stick clean before taking the reading
• Seat it fully to its stop each time so the marks are read at the right depth, and check the top seal or grommet is sound so the tube stays sealed
• Use the dipstick specified for your engine — length and graduation are matched to that sump, so a near-fit reads high or low
• Replace a stick that is bent, worn smooth at the marks or corroded, and make sure its tube is unobstructed and properly clipped so it cannot vibrate
• Never rely on a single reading if the level looks wrong; wipe, reseat and read again before adding or draining oil
