DF140 Oil Dip Stick Length...

what is the measurement from the top of the dipstick (from the top of the dipstick tube) to the full mark?

I lost my dipstick, and would like to know that length so that I can use a wire to check the oil level and measure the distance
to figure out when the oil is full.

If anyone with a DF140 could make that quick measurement for me today, I'd really appreciate it.


I have a new one on order, but want to use my boat before it comes it. I realize that I'll also need to cover/seal the dip stick opening because
oil splattered out of it when I ran the motor on the hose with the dip stick out.


Please help!

Thanks!
