Yes, a leak test is a must!! That's the impetus for having a professional take care of the recharging. He tells me that a good leak test should take up to 2 days to complete!! Whether that's the case, I'm not sure. Will it be Helium or Nitrogen used, I'm guessing Helium. Checking eBay I see that...
Thanks for the input everyone. I think now that's the way to go for sure. I've sourced a local refrigeration engineer and hopefully will have chilled beer once more very soon :)
Has anyone experience on the reliability of the Beta Marine 30hp engine housing adaptor plate allowing it to be mounted directly to an existing Volvo 120S sail drive ?
I plan to replace my aging, and very smoky (also spitting out small amounts of oil in the exhaust) Volvo 2003 of 1986 vintage...
