Drive lube monitor reservoir

If the drive lube monitor reservoir is filled above the operating range mark, will it limit how high the drive will go?

No....but I would find something to suck it out if it is way over...it will go up and down all the time, don't add unless it goes below the minimum...are you talking trim pump resivoir or drive? Either way, don't over fill.

The drive lube reservoir on the motors. I accidentally overfilled them a bit, didn’t have a way to remove excess at the time.  
I noticed at that time that I can now only pull the drives up halfway, both by the throttle switch and the buttons for trailering. Not sure what happened.

One does not effect the other. Trailer bottons do get sticky toogle up and down a conple times see if that helps.

Trailer button is 2 step, need to press firmly to engage and as @reneechris14 said they get sticky. The trim raise is purposefully only 1/2 way.

They were stuck, all working perfectly. Thank you
