See full text

Systems and methods are for indicating oil level in an outboard motor to an operator. An outboard motor has an internal combustion engine that drains oil to a sump; a sensor that senses oil level in the sump; and an input device and an indicator on the outboard motor. Actuation of the input device causes the sensor to determine the oil level, and then the indicator to indicate to the oil level to the operator.
