Friend put West Marine tilt trim fluid in helm, I cannot find the specs on the fluid. Bottle says good for all hydraulic systems. Seems to be working fine. Is it a real problem?

Ditto on drill holes front and back and plywood blade. A good circular saw/blade a piece of aluminum angle stock and clamps will give a good straight cut. I move the work station out on the grass most of the time and voila the chips are gone next mowing.

A lot of above plus jumper cables hand held radio manuals for electronics and other devices Advised a neighbor to put together a tool kit after he had a serious on the water engine problem. He did and next time we were on the boat asked to see it. Oh he says its in the garage, I did not...
