You have the latest and greatest from Merc with the OW drive. Is that some chalking on see on the side of the drive? I dont see a drive shower. If it is chalking, it is an indication of heat.. :( That should be addressed.

Thanks for pointing that out, looking at the previous pic I do see what you mean.
But I'm pretty sure it's just a reflection on the pic, the black paint is actually really shining (more pics below, also in reply to JT).
That said, I just bought the hose that connect to the Latham plate anyway, will fit it in the next weeks. :drink:
