Replacing Oil Dipstick tube

[Roman S]

Hi,
I need to replace my oil dipstick tube. The original tube is situated toward the front of the engine. I have a bulk head not far from the front of the engine making me contort the dipstick too much to even get a good reading. I would like to replace it with one the will come up near the side riser. Is it a difficult job to replace the dipstick with engine in place?

Is it just a slight press fit, you should be able to pull it out it will be tough but once it starts to pull out it should come have never replaced one in a boat but
auto ones usually will come out.
