    Water in reservoir

    I’ve seen a number of them leak from the shift shaft above that area. Not saying that is the issue but, if it is that’s an easy quick fix.

    Water in reservoir

    Stop running it now! You have a seal leaking someplace, and water in that amount will ruin your drive. It needs a re-seal. A good competent shop can do it, also so can you. Read the stickies at the top of this forum and see if it's soething you want to tackle.

    Quicksilver parts are the real thing. Anything else is not. You pay more but it’s better than doing it twice.

    Risk of building house close to lake

    Yeah, saw that. Bunch of people hurt. Night boating can be risky with the lights from shore making you think you are out further than you are. Regardless, to much speed is the fault here…

    Draining a built-in fuel tank

    Just unhook the fuel line from the tank, add hose as needed to a barrel. Hook up your pump and have at it. Why you need to drain it?

    Mystery trim/tilt motor

    If it’s working why trash it? Mine are fine and my oldest is from 1983.

    White Ground wire

    I only use crimp style connectors that after they are crimped with the proper tool you shrink the plastic that they come with. West marine has them. Sealed well. those ones that you just stick the wire in and hit with a heat gun are not a proper connection.

    Mystery trim/tilt motor

    Yup, that is the reservoir on the bottom. I have three boats with the same setup. See that screw between the two lines on the top? that is where you fill it.

    White Ground wire

    I always run the white to each light. On my new caravan they already did that for me. Most reliable way to do it!

    How much power steering fluid does the system take (dual 5.7 Alpha 1 Gen 1)

    I know the fluid gets aerated when doing that procedure, it looks foamy when you get it filled. When the air settles out you may have to add a touch to top it off. Unless as others have stated, there is a leak.

    Where to run anchor line?

    That might work but, if you are using rope I's put a short length of chain to the anchor. Then you can secure that chain with a safety chain to the cleat. If it's just rope it could break going down the highway and damage the vehicle behind you. Don't think you would want that to happen.

    Best boat lettering removal?

    Forgot, yes those rubber eraser wheels work really well!

    Best boat lettering removal?

    The heat gun or hair dryer works well, just don't get it to hot as the decal will come off in little pieces. Gently pull and it'll come off unless they are old and cracked.

    Fiberglass cracking - BRAND NEW R4 Surf 2023

    My first thought from the first pics had me thinking it was damaged/repaired at the mfg end of it. Now it's cracking somewhere else, Yeah, I'd be on the phone with the dealer and mfg. I'd be firm but not bullying at first. If you get no satisfaction, get firm with them and contact a lawyer.
