I don't remember seeing that section in the owners manual!

Re: Water in Cushions

Re the cushions in 2017 with water in them on a 2013 boat: Was there water in the cushions when you took delivery of the boat? When did you take delivery? Do you think there was a defect in the original manufacture of the cushions? If I understand you comment, "REALLY? I...was expecting a litt...

Re: Water in Cushions

I just got an answer back from Boston Whaler Customer Service. They suggested putting the cushions on the ground and standing on them to squeeze the water out. The cushion has a hole in the center of the bottom the water should come out there. If not, they said to drill some extra holes in the botto...

Water in Cushions

I have a 2013 Dauntless 170. The cushions for the two seats in the stern have water inside, and I can' t seem to get it out or dry them. The vinyl cover is stapled on and doesn't come off the foam. I noticed the water when I took a seat off to clean the sump, and I saw green water dripping out when ...

Re: Cushions have pink spots

I have a 2013 Dauntless and the same thing happened to the bow cushion. It got pink stains that won't come out. There is a 19-foot Key West docked behind me, and I noticed on his helm leaning post the same pink stains. It's not a problem unique to [Boston Whaler]. I'd like to know how to get rid of ...

Re: 3 blade or 4 blade prop

It is hard to identify a Mercury 90-HP FOURSTROKE engine by name, because at least four substantially different engines have been identified by that same name. Does the cowling on the engine have a domed top, having somewhat of a resemblance to a lady's professional hair salon drier from the 1960's...

Re: 3 blade or 4 blade prop

Phil
Thank you for the information what you said makes a lot of sense. I may try to change the prop out to the 3 blade and see the difference. The only problem it's an expensive test. New SS prop is about $400

170 DAUNTLESS Propeller

I'm new to Boston Whalers so I'm looking for a little information. I recently purchased a used 2013 Dauntless 170 with a 90 HP Mercury with a four-blade propeller. Did the 2013 170 DAUNTLESS come from the factory with a four-blade propeller? Wide open [the engine can accelerate to] 5200 RPM with a [...
