Trim Tab Reservoir Location?

[Happy Place]

On my 2014 R-31 CB, I've been searching high and low for the trim tab/ deck lift reservoir. It has to be somewhere near the transom but I've searched under the back seat and all over the engine compartment but nothing looks obvious.

And while we're talking, what sort of fluid does it want? ATF?

If the R31 is anything like my 2019 R29 the engine hatch's lift rod and the trim tabs pistons use the same tank of hydraulic fluid. In fact I have to ensure my trim tabs are fully retracted to ensure I can raise the engine hatch to its fullest extent. The tank is not a small item so it should be easily seen IMO.

On our 31 the trim- hatch pump and reservoir is on stern port side under rear seat.

On our C28, it is under the rear seat, starboard side. However, it is not super easy to see, and there is a cover over the fill spout, so you may need to keep that in mind when looking.

On our 31 the trim- hatch pump and reservoir is on stern port side under rear seat.

Same with our 2018 R-31.

What color is the fluid in the trim tab/ deck lift reservoir? I see one with blue liquid...
