⚙️ Key Features

• Oil dipstick from the Marine Propulsion group
• 0.034 kg
• Supersedes 22803031
• Listed for two D series engine applications
• Length and markings are calibrated to the sump, so the reading is only true on the engines listed

🔌 Function

Measures the oil level in the sump, with its marks set to the depth of that particular sump so the reading corresponds to the correct quantity of oil.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Level readings that do not agree with the quantity of oil put in
• Oil weeping or misting from the dipstick tube
• Dipstick creeping out of its tube from crankcase pressure
• Blade found bent, or its markings worn illegible
• Seal on the stem hardened, split or missing

🛠️ Service Notes

• Dipsticks 23503512 and 23503513 are calibrated to different engines - fitting the wrong one gives a confident but false reading
• Renew the stem seal if the tube weeps
• Read the level with the boat lying level and the engine stopped long enough to drain back
