Got another boat with a new 3cyl 40hp/4 stroke the manual says to fill oil to top mark on dipstick would it be a good practice to fill 1/2- 3/4 full on the dipstick like I do for my(1B947225) 150 3.0 litre 4 stroke?

Personally, i try to follow the book as close as possible. Maybe don will have some insight on that particular model.
When changing oil, it is best to set the oil level between 1/4 and 1/3 on the stick.
Don't want it LOW (out of the safe zone), and don't want it HIGH either (at or above top of zone).
