T&T: Bow Thruster Hydraulic Fluid?

[Roger]

The tractor hydraulic fluid does not run the Power Take Off.  It runs any
hydraulic cylindars attached to the tractor, e.g. front bucket, impliments, 
etc.
It is also used on some tranmissions, e.g. Ford tractors.
It should work fine with your bow thruster.
