I am running regular PS fluid in mine and have for a couple of years. no problems .

So let's see.

The cost of new system components is aprox $800.

Install labor is extra.

Loosing a steering system will screw your day up.

Not putting the proper fluid in to save a few dollars is foolish.

OK,

Got the seal kit from Nick at Posner Marine :clap. I had to replace the front shaft, the rear seal and also the side piston 'o' rings.

Flushed out the old fluid and refilled with SeaStar fluid.

Now everything is leak free and a little smoother on the wheel.

That's one job off the list...

Thanks all
