Is it compatible with the Mercruiser oil, or do you have to drain what you have and start fresh?

I use Mercruiser drive oil in the drives, but ATF for the tab, trim, hydraulic steering and hatch pumps (yes, my boat has a hydraulic hatch).
I would think that the main difference with Mercruiser hydraulic fluid would be the price.
