Default Actual boating question!



30 weight motor oil? *Um...no?

Get a couple of quarts of hydraulic oil.

Motor oil?


The service manual specified 30 w non-detergent motor oil. The
reservoir only holds about 6 ozs...

Yeah, I know there is tilt/trim fluid and various hydraulic fluids...
all of which are oils... asked my hydraulic guy at work, he said motor
oil is fine. Haven't asked him about the foaming issue yet. I read
last night that some of the tilt/trim fluids have an anti-foaming
agent added. I'm not opposed to trying one of those.
