Re: CANT TURN !!
 

I checked the Davis website and it only comes in one size.

Boatersworld told me that if it does not fit, I must acquit,
oops wrong board, I can send it back for a refund.

macojoe - I had to loosen the motor,
but it was no big deal, if the fitting doesn't work,
then I just might use your system.
An hour of work could save me days of hassle next year.

I feel like a scientist with all these experiments.
:P

Re: CANT TURN !!
 

your not the first nior the last that will have to deal with this!!

The nut should fit? I remember when I got mine there were different ones, at least I thought there were?

My motor is on a bracket, so I have it real easy to take mine out!!

Even greasing it all the time I still take out every fall!!

Re: CANT TURN !!
 

i been told by a few that greasing it is the worst thing to do. on my bayliner i just hit it with pb blaster and wipe clean then shoot a little wd40. every month or so and no prob for about 3 years. keep in mind, i fish. we are talking about a boat that spent at LEAST 10 or 15 hours a week in the water before katrina. maybe a little less during deer season. but, that may be the reason, it never got a chance to freeze up.

Parish is it one size fits a industry standard tube?

Re: CANT TURN !!
 

Here is the size from the website:

(7/8" x 14 pitch threads).

The website for information is:

The site for ordering that I got from macojoe is:

While you are at the Davis website,
check out some of the other stuff there,
I found it pretty interesting.

Re: CANT TURN !!
 

All due respect to MJ ;)...I think the nut is gonna be universal in size, cause the steering-ram is gonna be the same size for all...I don't remember but one size when I got mine...

Re: CANT TURN !!
 

Thats all right, I can admitt when I am wrong!!

Just for some reason like 10 years ago I thought that they had asked if I had a Merc or OMC so I thought it was two different sizes?

O well he got it , it fit, and hopefully he will never have that problem again!!
