I have a A60 Actuator on my boat, question? Is it normal for the Reservoir to be very,very rusty, almost to the point of rusting through? The boat was bought new in 2006 a 206 Elite.

Not really unless your trailer lives in the saltwater, then it might be normal.
Flush out the system and refill with DOT 3 for moisture protection.
You'd better flush that dude in a hurry! This spring, the rust in mine caused a blockage in my brake line, and didn't allow one of the brakes to disengage.
The rotor got extremely hot, and caused the oil in my COOL hub to spew out - I saw a HUGE cloud of white in my mirror when that happened! When the oil hit the rotor it caught fire! I quickly got stopped, scrambled into my rod locker, got the fire extinguisher, and luckily put the fire out before it spread to the carpet/wood on the trailer wheel well.
