Alright one more question. Recently had the drive rebuilt and it seems to be losing fluid. These pictures were taken after 6-10 hours of boating and you can see a pretty significant drop. Both are taken cold in my driveway on the trailer, so should be the same angle. I understand there could be some drop in fluid levels due to air/burping, but this seems pretty significant. Going to top it off and monitor. I'm dropping the boat off Tuesday for them to look into another issue, but would like this to be addressed as well.

Pic didn't work, but I would hope that the shop that rebuilt it also pressure tested it when they were done?

Looks like the site was down for a minute which is why the pics didnt show. Good question, i'll ask. I didn't know that was a common thing to check - thanks.

Just so we are apples to apples, fill it back to the full line, dont fill the bottle.

My drives usually settle in and suck a little bit in. Rarely did I do drive work and it required zero oil after running. After you fill it back, I would think that you are goo and it is stabilized.

Appreciate it. I’ll top it back off and monitor.

After a run I`ll have half a quart worth of fluid in my expansion bottles.. half hour later they are empty.
This is on a SSMIV and V (#5) drives, they hold more than a Blowvo , about 2.5 gallons each drive.

Mine slowly disappears but I can't find a leak ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ no oil in the water and never any water in the oil.
Must be going somewhere though

I just got my fluid in today, so i'll top it back off and monitor. Really hope it was just air that pulled it down. Darn thing was just rebuilt, so hoping it's not leaking already.

Thanks,
Todd
