    Hello, I have a 210 6BT, can I relocate the oil filler valve cover from #1 cylinder to #3 cylinder? Cheers Ian

    Put that valve cover where it makes it the easiest to fit “YOUR BOAT” as to access.. No issue one way or the other..

    Thanks Tony, I need to relocate it to another cylinder, my engines are in the saloon and number 1 cylinder has a lounge just above it, it would make it easier if was on #3 or #4 as the funnel would clear the lounge base and less likely to fall over allowing oil to spill and end up in my alternator (again) , cheers Ian, Australia

    You can put it on and cylinder number.. Makes ZERO difference, unless you are using it for certain crankcase breathing systems.
