Does anyone know of a cheaper hydraulic fluid that I can use to test where the leak is, without spending $30 for a quart of "SeaStar Solutions HA5430H SeaStar/BayStar Hydraulic Steering Fluid, 1 Quart"? I'm guessing the lines will need to be replaced, but my hope is that it is a slow leak, and I can test the boat around the small Michigan lake, before I decide to go ALL IN with repairing the flooring.... 1988 16' Sea Ray Seville, outboard Mercury 115hp salt water
I'm waiting for "Marine Tech Tools Hydraulic Steering Filler Kit with Swivel - Fill Tube with Swivel - Fits Seastar Hydraulic Steering - Used for All Outboard, Sterndrive & Inboard Seastar Hydraulic Helms" to be back in stock, for about $31. There is a plastic one for $20, but the reviews are horrible....
And last night, bought "Marine Tech Tools Seastar Hydraulic Steering Kit - Bleed Tube - Fits Seastar Hydraulic Cylinders" for $28.
