Anywhere know where I can get a compression test for my outboard this weekend? I use Chris v for everything, but need to get it done saturday so i can wrap up the sale of my boat. of course i waited until the last minute.
Thanks
Takes like 10 minutes, can’t do it yourself in front of the buyer? I would never buy an outboard without doing my own or seeing it performed in front of me personally.

He is dead set on it being done by a “professional”
Look at where Jesus went to pick people. He didn’t go to the colleges; he got guys off the fishing docks.

nothing professional about a compression test. 
I’d personally want a “leak down” test over a compression test. And like Geronimo said, I’d want it done in front of me. A little misted oil in the cyl before a compression test can mask a lot of problems if someone wanted to be “shady”.
That said I don’t know Where to tell you to go on the weekend. You can pick up a cheap compression tester and most any auto parts store or Northern. Google the procedure and tell your buyer you are a professional!
