Hi All,
By the end of the last season I've noticed that on my Maxum 2500scr with bravo 3 gear lube level is slowly dropping even after adding it to normal level. Prior to that I had an issue with through transom fitting which had to be replaced. During that repair access from inside was extremely difficult and I'm suspecting that the leak could be coming from there. Before I'll launch the boat this season I would like to do pressure test and see wheres the issue. There's a few videos on doing the test online but all of them are done on drives without reservoir. Ideally I would like to perform such a test with the drive on the boat and including reservoir system. In that case should I just install pressure gauge to the reservoir hose which I'll remove from reservoir tank or should I somehow plug this hose at tank side and connect the pressure gauge through the treaded fills on the drive?
