Johnny...Never use brake fluid. In an emergency you can use Dexron II transmission fluid until you can get the right stuff which is listed below: Please note that SeaStar hydraulic steering systems require the use of a special high quality hydraulic fluid meeting MIL SPEC H-5606 C. This fluid is available in QT (32 US fluid ounce) bottles as:

SeaStar Hydraulic Fluid:
