Volvo D6 370HP diesel oil dip stick.

I’m looking at a Beneteau 30s with this engine and the oil stick is on the port side of the engine which is difficult to access. I have read somewhere that this can be swapped over to the starboard side of the engine fairly easily.
Can anyone confirm this please.

Looks fairly easy to do. The brakets have different part numbers, but one has a price that is about 10x more then the other for some reason.

Thank you. I must admit I’m not sure why Beneteau did not do that in te build.

I expect because Beneteau are a boat builder not an engine manufacturer!

Sealine managed to install both dipsticks in the middle when they installed the D4-260s in mine.

I expect it's because Beneteau are French.
