I have a PYI PSS Dripless Adapter on my C310. Its 4 years old and has seen over 1200 motoring hours and 10K nautical miles without issue. I am hauling out this year and I will replace the bellows. I am doing this as preventative maintenance and the part was $80 and we only haul out every 3-5 years in the Caribbean.
As far as cost, the first time I did it they were high. But I changed the shaft, the transmission cuppler and the cutlass bearing. I did all the labor myself and it probably ran around $900. For this maintenance, all I am doing is the $80 maintenance kit from PYI and new hose clamps.
