Does anyone know the transmission fluid capacity for the Westerbeke 27?

If you have the Hurth HBW 150V v-drive transmission, the capacity is around a liter.
When using the dipstick to check the fluid level, do not thread the dipstick into place. Let the threaded portion sit on top of the housing. If you thread the dipstick all the way into place when checking the fluid level, you will end up under filling the transmission.
The correct fluid is automatic transmission fluid (ATF).
