2008 250 HPDI drained the lower unit for the first time and noticed there was metal dust on the magnet and some in the oil. Is this normal for the first time change?

Very normal. As long as it's "dust", and not small chunks of metal.
It's called normal "breaking it in".
Thanks
Yes its just dust. This is my first new motor and this is the first time i have ever noticed metal in lower unit fluid. It gave me a scare!!
