Spend the $25 each and balance them anyway. I thought the same thing till I went to a drive line shop. You would not believe it until you see it on the balance machine. Remember, they may be spinning up to 5500 RPM

Interested in adding a fluid reservoir to monitor the level. How would I go about that? How much fluid does it hold normally? How do you currently change the fluid? How much fluid would you use if you added a reservoir? Can you overfill it?

The stellings boxes on my last boat just had a grease fitting there.

Thanks!

WANTED: Pair of clear merc bravo style drive fluid reservoir bottles and transom brackets. Thanks
