Moved my boat into it's new home last night. Went to take the motor toter off, and when I hit the tilt up swith, the motor groaned, and then spit out some fluid from the bottom of the mechanism. I got about a shot glass full of fluid that drained out. Any ideas?

You might have a screw loose (I know I do!). Check the filler screw on top of the reservoir unit and make sure it is tight. This should be a sealed system so if there is juice coming out something is amiss. My next guess would be a cracked hose or loose clamp. Your owners manual should give directions on how to add fluid, follow the directions and see if it is a shot low?
Good to see you back on the boards! m
