Hydraulic Fluid Advice
Anyone got any ideas where i can get some Seastar hydraulic steering fluid locally (surrey) like yesterday ! ?
according to the manual it says that Dextron 11 can be used in an emergency but other forums seem to frown upon this.
tried all the local chandlers etc..for these with no luck ... any ideas ?
