Default Actual boating question!

Why motor oil? Usually they use ATF or real tilt/trim fluid. Motor oil
is a lubricant, you need hydraulic oil. Usually different stuff

My Mercedes Unimog industrial tractor uses SAE 30 engine oil in the
tractor hydraulics. The backhoe has a separate pump and reservoir and
uses Case hydraulic oil.
