I think I have the same setup as you .. External steering and all .. Mine is dry but have heard of others blowing out steering fluid at high RPM out the "res" but just a blow by type thing ... Few drops.. tablespoon ..
I found it, the reservoir hose is weeping
it was leaking down the lower unit (sorry forgot to say that in last post) onto the ground.

I will try to remember to snap you some pics of the latch tonight, if you still need them

Thanks, but when I picked up the boat, much to my delight the marina had sourced a brand new latch and had it airfreighted for installation. Needless to say I'm quite happy now, and am amazed that the latch is still made 10 years on.

Just a teaser pic of the 500 mile haul home:



By the way, I am the original owner of the boat - never before titled, 2.17 hours on the motor - I'll tell the whole story when I'm back from launching it!

That boat really does have great looking lines.What sucks though we will use the boat tomorrow and the labor day weekend then the boat is winterized and put away until next may.
