While you may be able to get it easier at the airport I don't believe others will?



1]Take container to put fluid in. I'm sure they buy it in at least 5gal pails?

Drive from the West side of town to the East side of town.

Figure out where to park at the Airport.

Figure out where and who to go talk to to get some.





2]Stay on the West side and drive to West Marine and pick it up and pay $13qt



3]Plan ahead on a new install and order it online [along with some extra fluid for down the road] with the other parts that you have ordered to install hyd steering and pay $10qt + no tax.



#3 is what I do.

Pretty much every FBO I've ever been in sells it in 1 gallon jugs (they look like anti-freeze jugs). To top it off, it is tinted red, which makes it easier to spot leaks if you have any.

Yes I got it from a WEB site..but if you meet at least (which you say is not the current standard today) 5606C or better. 5606 would be the standard with tighter standard (revisions) from "C" to "G or H" or whatever (updated standards) 5606H would meet C's standards but not the reverse. AS for going to the airport, I'd stay with the manufactures fluid, and later resort to aviation fluid. As far as going to a FBO "fixed based operators" (they service Non Commercial and Military A/C) and getting it, would be very easy. All FBO's have parking right at their office. Walk in and ask for the fluid and a lineman will be directed to you or you to him, as that is who both fuels the A/C and tops off any fluid needed if the pilot doesn't do it himself. And YES bring a suitable container.

And the correct fluid is a MINERAL fluid.

Aeroshell Fluid 41 (5606H)...tinted RED..and easy to find leaks

Had I seen that and and was working on a person's boat I would recommend them to flush the system.



How do I know it's not ATF?





To each his own. Buy it or what ever you want. The bottles that say SeaStar on them is what goes in my stuff and boats that I work on for people.



We beat this to death and each is going to do what they always have done.

Thank you everybody for the advice!!! I will be going with seastar fluid, since that is what is recomeneded as best. And the price doesnt bother me, since it is not "expendeble" like gas where I will always be refilling.

Thnax SOS for the offer to help with some advice. I will definately call if I need a tip.

Tim....I would definately like to try some diferent props then, that would be great to dial it in before the repitch.

And thanx a million for the great job you guys at Breeze Fabricators did mounting my dive ladder on the cat!!!! The family loved it this weekend when we anchored up behind flounders and were jumpin off the tower and swimmin all day for about 6 hours. I will be posting some pics soon of your guys work. made gettin in and out of the boat a breeze!
