Re: Mercury 40-HP: Remedy for very stiff steering
Intriguing approach. I assume the "pivot tube" is the swivel bracket aka steering bracket. My outboard would benefit from this procedure. Questions: 1. How did you know what depth to drill the hole for the new grease fitting without unintentionally drilling into the contained shaft? 2. Wha...

Re: BRP Announces the new ROTAX OUTBOARD ENGINE
Thanks for posting that interesting announcement. If I were an engineer who contributed to the design, I would be disappointed that press release does not even show the product. The Manitou web site has a few interesting pictures and text blurbs about this "outboard." https://www.manitoupo...

Need Very Specific Picture of DAUNTLESS 16
I need a picture of a c.2000 DAUNTLESS 16 that shows the front of the console and exactly where the backrest cushion is located. BACKSTORY I have a 2000 16 DAUNTLESS with the Fishing Package option, which includes four rod holders mounted on the front of the console where there would normally be a c...

Re: Expected Cost for Steering Repair
I can't help with a cost estimate, but I suggest some troubleshooting to narrow the problem. I have a 2000 16' DAUNTLESS with the standard Teleflex Tilt NFB steering system. When I experienced too much effort required for steering that increased the "dead" space when changing steering dire...

Re: 1988 13-footer: Identify Component on Bow
My boat has the same pair of rubber disks fastened to the bow deck. Mine are black. They are quick release mounts for a trolling motor bow bracket. The prior owner used them with a MotorGuide Great White GWB 80V. I don't fish so removed the two extra heavy batteries and sold the trolling motor. I ha...

Re: 2001 Dauntless 16 versus 2000 Ventura 18
I have a 2000 DAUNTLESS 16 that I have enjoyed for 20 years. I have Bennett trim tabs on my DAUNTLESS 16. They improve the ride quite a bit in chop, rough water, and small swells. Trim tabs wouldn't help as much on a 16-foot boat in seas where the wave height is really two-foot or higher [as they he...
