Tried to PM a pic of what I assume to be the water muffler, but instead of a paper clip to attach asked for a URL. Here's a pic, if I am understanding what I am looking for. Anyone with something similar know how to drain it for winter on the hard storage and if it is simple and won't cause a problem with air locks in the spring?

Check for a drain plug around the bottom of it. Draining it won't cause any issues, although if you've run enough antifreeze through the system for winterizing and have a sufficient antifreeze concentration coming out the exhaust, the muffler will be full of antifreeze and draining isn't required.
 
Yes, that is your waterlift muffler. Probably from Centek although it looks too faired and finished to be https://centekmarine.com/

It's almost certainly a Centek by appearance. I'm pretty sure they offer the faired, white coated look as an extra-cost option compared to the typical bare or black coated rough finish.
