My marina offers this in their stern drive winter maintenance package. I’ve never had them do it as I change my own lube but I am thinking of having them do it this year. Have had the boat 3 seasons now. No reason to think there is a leak but it’s only $50 for them to test both drives for me as long as I drain them first. Do you guys have this done periodically? Good to have done? Thx

    Every year. But I'm only single engine and I can get pressure test, drive oil change and grease gimbal, steering and tilt for $165 CDN about $125 USD.

    You build your own presser tester for about $20 bucks. Believe presser is low around 10 psi. I take my drives off every year and found my port drive has I little oil coming out the top seal. Did lose about 1oz in the reservoir toward the end of the year.
