Observe the safety precautions
beginning on page 17 before
performing out any work on the
engine or
compartment.
The reversing-gearbox oil level must be
checked at regular intervals.
The boat must be at rest when measuring
the oil level. Wait a few minutes after
switching off the engine so that the oil can
flow back.
Then screw out the oil dipstick, wipe it with
a clean cloth and guide the oil dipstick into
the opening again.

Then pull out the oil dipstick again and read
off the oil level:
A - If the oil level is within the range A, no
oil may be added.
B - If the oil level is within the range B, oil
may be added.
When doing so, the oil level may then be
within the range A.
C - If the oil level is within the range C or
below, oil must be added. It is sufficient
when the oil level is then somewhere
within the range B.
However, the oil level may never be
above the range A.
In the case of especially heavy gearbox
loading, such as during longer engine opera-
tion (10 - 12 hours), the oil level should at
least lie in the middle of the two markings
(min/max).
Changing reversing-gear oil
The reversing gear oil must be changed in
accordance with the specifications of the
respective manufacturer.
