I changed the transmission fluid in the E35-3 I’m working on. I drained the old fluid by removing the drain plug. I added the prescribed 1.3 pints (615 cc) of new fluid but this puts the level way above the groove on the dipstick. This reading is taken without screwing the dipstick in. A previous thread indicated that the fluid volume stated in the manual is incorrect. Has anyone confirmed this? I understand that overfilling the transmission can be detrimental.

What is your engine model and model of transmission?
That Ericson was often built out with a Universal M25 (21 hp) or M25XP (23), but some were reportedly delivered with Yanmar engines.

Always helpful to include boat model, engine & transmission type in your signature line in order to get accurate responses. If it's a hurth tranny fill to line without the dipstick screwed in. Also make sure you use the correct fluid type. Attached is a link for lubricant schedule by product type from ZF/Hurth.

Most likely a Hurth but there should be a tag on the trans to verify make & model. Best to take a mirror or phone(for picture) as always in the wrong place
According to one site that seemed sorta-believable that engine model came with a Hurth HBW-10 transmission. 32 HP. Impressive!
