Not that long ago I got a set (2 engine / 2 station) of Hynautic controls like but not as clean as these for a very good price
(I have an extra 4 head units)
I have swapped all the hynautic 5/16th brass compression fittings to suit nylon hose out with generic ones (Oz prices for Hynautics brass was near $1000 vs $120 for other ), replaced filters and bleeders and have new hose.
I have filled the system with water (it is supposed to be 50/50 glycol water) for testing and flushing and pumped it up to 100psi and pumped and bled and pumped and bled and am slowly getting rid of the crud that is inside the actuators and heads.(rusty coloured watery yuck)
My question is - is there a better fluid that can be used for flushing?
I have sent emails to Hynauitic/Seastar but they haven't replied and I have done the search and found a bit on steering, but nothing on engine controls

As my system doesnt use hydraulic fluid as such I imagine it needs a different fluid for flushing.
I hope someone has some answers, google doesnt appear to.
