Hello, first of all I want to apologize for my ignorance. My question is: the dip stick to measure the oil has two little holes, where does the oil have to be? Bottom hole? Middle of the holes? Top hole?

depends, is your boat in the water or on the trailer, is the engine hot or cold?

If you're on the trailer and the engine is cold normally you want it towards the lower mark. If you're on the water and the engine is warm anywhere between the two is OK.

Do yourself a favor and check your oil every trip, maybe when you stop to take a break during the day.

Also, your manual should show you a picture,
