    I personally would not substitute anything other than the recommended fluid (Mercury Power Trim and Steering Fluid).

    It is not mercury fluid. It is sea star. I used exactly what sea star said to use. After all, they made it, tested it and decided that was the best thing to put in it. To each is own.
