"Hi All,

my Volvo manual for my engine/outdrive states that the oil level in the outdrive should be checked every 14 days.

This is the extract:-

Check the oil level with the drive fully down. The oil level should be between the marks on the dipstick, which must not be screwed down when measuring the oil level. Make sure that water cannot enter the drive while carrying out the oil level check.??????

Does this mean that I have to pay 180 euros every 2 weeks to have my boat lifted out of the water for an oil level check?

How else can I stop water from entering the dip-stick hole?

Very confusing.

"I doubt that most Volvo Penta owners in your situation are checking the oil every two weeks. Of course, if you want to check the oil and save the 180 Euros, you can always bring a bunch of buddies and make them sit in the bow so that the boat will trim by the bow and the stern will lift.
