Re: 2004 Dauntless 160 Cooler Brand and Dimensions

I have a 2004 Dauntless 160 and I got tired of replacing the broken standard igloo cooler. I looked at many new rotomolded coolers and the yeti tundra 45 was the closest to the igloo marine 54. It is about 1/2 inches wider than the igloo, so I had to widen the starboard material bracket slightly wit...

Re: 160 Dauntless Re-power Mercury 115 FOURSTROKE

I finally got around to changing the propeller to an ENERTIA 21-pitch from an ENERTIA ECO 21-pitch. The ENERTIA 21 made a huge difference. The engine can now accelerate to a maximum speed of 5,600 to 5,700-RPM. The acceleration to hydroplane from a standing start with engine at full throttle is much...

Re: 160 Dauntless 115-HP Propeller Recommendation

Luc, I am running a Mercury Enertia 21 P prop with the engine mounted one hole up. I have used the new Mercury 115 CT four stroke for 50 hours. I am happy in every way in how it runs compared to my old 2004 115 ELPTO 2+2 2stroke. The power band is much smoother and it has excellent torque and the ho...

Re: 160 Dauntless 115-HP Propeller Recommendation

Seamus, I have a 2004 Dauntless 160 with the 115 2 stroke 2+2 engine which I have been the only owner. I had a Michigan Rapture 17 pitch prop which worked great along with a hydrofoil.I could get 45-47 mph with that set up around 5200 at WOT. I recently changed to a new 2019 Mercury 115 CT four stro...

Re: 160 Dauntless Re-power Mercury 115 FOURSTROKE

I have completed my repower with a 2019 Mercury 115 Command Thrust. The new engine engine is much smoother and incredibly more quiet than my old Mercury 2+2 carburetor two-stroke. I did install baystar hydraulic and a new smart gauge tach and new throttle control. The propeller was supposed to be an...

Re: 160 Dauntless Re-power Mercury 115 FOURSTROKE

My dealer did find a Command Thhrust Mercury 115 FOURSTROKE. He will have it in two weeks. I will have to decide whether to use my old analog gauges or upgrade to Smartcraft gauges. I also will most likely not be able to use my old RAPTURE 13.25 x 17 Prop. Both the new Montauk 170 and the new Dauntl...

Re: 160 Dauntless Re-power Mercury 115 FOURSTROKE

If I do purchase the regular gear cased Mercury 115, I may just start with my propeller from my old engine, a Michigan Rapture 13.25 x 17-pitch. That propeller was perfect with the 115-HP two-stroke-power-cycle engine with a anti-ventilation plate foil appendage and the engine mounted one-hole-up fr...

160 Dauntless Re-power Mercury 115 FOURSTROKE

I have to decided to re-power my 160 DAUNTLESS with the new Mercury 115 FOURSTROKE which is only 10-lbs heavier than my current engine. Based on the 2.1-liter displacement [the Mercury 115 FOURSTROKE engine] should have plenty of low end torque which is helpful on this stern heavy boat. The new 170 ...
