How much should I expect to pay for a seal ( pressure test ) on a bravo three

Down to the nitty gritty, but $300 arrive seems high.

Maybe break this down and see if it makes sense but also depends on the shops hourly rate. I'll assume the drive would still be on the boat.

1-drain gear lube and remove drive; probably remove props first (at least I do)
2-pressure test and hopefully perform some kind of diagnosis on a possible leak
3-re-install drive with new $8 gasket kit, fill with gear lube (3 quarts), install props-should grease shaft also, run boat and test for proper operation
They're probably saying this is a couple hours labor plus parts so.....maybe that's about right for your area.

So, at $300 . . . you would have to ask yourself (and the mechanic) does it really need to be done?

Your welcome. Thanks for the kind remarks since for me it's not that often I'm able to help someone and answer a question as I'll never have the experience, abilities, brain cells:facepalm:, electrons spinning in the right direction of a Don, Chris, Bondo, QC, Bvt, Jb, Bd, Sd, etc. etc. etc.
...how do they remember all this stuff???....I have to think hard on what my wife made for dinner 2 nights ago....
