The Volvo penta dpa drive. 1989 model
You can " listen " to the outdrive.----On the trailer with a stethoscope in neutral or in gear.----A wood stick , $2 tool or a fancy one with electronics.-----Wood stick can be used with drive in the water.-----You would have to know what a new one sounds like.
