An accurate engine oil level reading will happen only after the engine has run long enough to
thoroughly warm up to at least 140 F. (60 C.) This should one of the last checks performed prior
to an outing. Run the engine with the boat in the body of water. If the transmission uid/oil is
also going to be checked, it will require running the boat for at least fteen (15) minutes to get
the transmission uid/oil up to the required level of heat. Check the transmission uid/oil rst,
immediately after shutting down the engine. As long as the engine oil is checked within a
couple of minutes of shutting down, there is no need to re-start and run the engine again
before checking the oil level.
