After using the boat, let it set for at least 5 days. The water and oil will separate. the water will go to the bottom. Leave you upper vent screw in. Remove the lower fill screw; the first thing out will be water. This will determine how bad the leak is. If it is less than a spoon full that could be condensate.(not a big concern) Now a lot of this determines how often the boat is used and the oil change intervals.

You do not have to completely drain the gear case if only a small amount of water is detected, just remove the upper vent screw and add new Oil until it overflows out of the vent. Note: I only recommend this with Quicksilver High Performance Hypo oil only. <'TK><
