smokyforce,Around 10 psi is a thumb rule of what seals should hold at.

My leak tester recommends 5 lbs for 10 min. Leaks usually show up pretty quick.

Hi smokyforce,<br />This is the recommended procedure for my Suzuki<br />DT65 so it might or might not apply for a smaller<br />outboard like Yours, use it at Your own risk:<br />
