Author	Topic:   1999 18 Dauntless Hydraulic Steering
masbama	posted 01-25-2012 10:10 PM ET (US)         What brand [hydraulic] steering is good? [The author says that he is] thinking of getting [hydraulic steering] for [a 1999 Boston Whaler DAUNLTESS 18] with a jack plate. [With a jack plate] and trim, the steering can be easy to steer one minute and almost impossible the next. Feels like something might break. Thanks.
