Take down and put up the canopies a couple of times before you buy. They can be a real hassle if they are shrunk in cold weather, also there is a definite procedure to follow to get it right.

Your words, & if you spend the money on regular servicing with a good main dealer they don't miss a beat. The reason so many outdrives fail is people cutting corners by not doing things such as changing bellows every two years without fail. It amazes me when I see posts asking if they can reuse oil etc.

Unfortunately the DPH drives fail even if you service them correct. Not all of course but way more than older Penta outdrives and Mercruiser
