Stus-List engine oil amount

Universal Diesel 5424 here. According to the manual, this engine has 5.6QT of engine oil. Last season and today, both times I use oil extractor through the dipstick hole, could only get a little over 3 quarters out. Is this normal, or am I not doing it right? thx in advance. Bo -- 1974 C&C 35

Hi everyone, I am coming back to this. Today I took a look at what is inside the screw holes of the cabin, I used a picking tool to bring out what appears to be "chip" like material from inside the hole, wet, I am thinking it does not look like wood, more like wet fiber? https://drive.google.com/

Stus-List rudder seam

Stus-List Lake St.Clair
