That saildrive lower output shaft looks on camera to be excessively worn , will need repair or replacement or the new oil will emulsify again.

Thanks for the quality video, how mutch you pay that saildrive kit, im curious and where you ordered it?

@@jussiryhanen7851 Thanks for watching. The kit cost £500 and it came with some pretty decent instructions too. We bought it direct from Volvo online
