Hello everyone,
Yesterday I was cleaning up my boat for the end of season, and noticed a red hydraulic fluid in my center storage compartment where I store skis, inflatables, etc. I cleaned it up, and then pulled the drain plug, when I noticed more ?fresh? red fluid would continue to leak into the center compartment. I always thought (and I?m pretty confident) this plug was for draining water OUT, so I am really concerned. It?s red like a transmission fluid, but I would guess the outdrive or power trim would leak from the transom area.
I looked into the lower bilge under the engine, and there is a very, very small amount of fluid but nothing like the amount collected and leaking in the center storage area...Thoughts?? Thanks in advance for your input.
