Can I use regular Automobile power steering fluid in my boat instead of the sea star brand? I have the Sea Star Hydraulic steering in my boat and the wheel stopped turning my engine so i think that the fluid is low or leaked out. i need to refill and west marine is not open today. please help

no, you can use automatic trans fluid if you are in a bind, however, in cold climates steering will be stiff,
