[PSUBS-MAILIST] hydraulic fluid choice

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Alan,You made me realize a problem I will have with WD40 as hydraulic fluid.  It dose harden plastic, and my hyd lines will be PH nylon lines.  So my solution is,,,, my hydraulic pump will be driven by a Minn Kota thruster motor.  The motor will be filled with WD40 or similar.  The motor\pump will then be submerged in the hydraulic oil reservoir  along with the electric valve bank.  The reservoir will be a fibreglass tank with a rubber lid.  I can use regular hydraulic fluid that is compatable with the valve and pump but not compatible with an electric motor.  Eezy PeezyHank
