Motor support?

Hope they are long enough.. if to short you havn't gained anything.

Correct but for $17.00 I'll take a shot.

The old blue ones that you cut to size are cheaper than that.
Cut mine so that after putting the first side on you have to put slight pressure with steering wheel in order to place the second.. pretty well eliminated all movment.

where can you buy the old blue ones that you can cut to fit?

Due to the midsection design, it's probably wisest to use a set of steering clips.

The only one I've seen that was supposed to keep the steering centered was actually pressing against the sides of the lower Chaps- which will not take a lot of focused pressure without the potential of fracturing.

JMHO... a potential (costly) problem.

hey Don,

what’s the best way to secure side to side movement on Mercury four stroke motor with CABLE steering? Hydraulic steering clips are pretty inconvenient when using with cable steering. Grease gets all over them and you have to turn motor all the way to one side because you can only clip in on one side. Thanks.

A good-ole bungie strap through the steering wheel and to a fixed object does a pretty decent job. Or... a NFB (no feedback) steering system.

thank you for the response. The new Mercury 4 stroke 75/90/115 recent years don’t come with NFB steering system?

RMP has their in stock now, I just got mine last week. Fits like it was molded for the engine and very beefy looking and has the two clips with it and it will attach to the transom saver when you pull them off for quick storage while on the water. To me a great buy @ $159.

Same here. Very pleased with the RMP and clips.

Anything new on a Motormate for the Merc 4S v8? If not is there something similar, other than the dd26?

toterite STR8 been using mine 2 yrs on 300 Pro Xs works fine for me no need for steering clips

I have the RMP unit. I took it apart and painted it red. I have had it for about 2 yrs. No complaints.

My Gatorbak's fit just right....I still have the Toterite but quit using the swing out arms due to the amount of pressure they put on the lower cowling

[fly by night]

I have tried both, the toterite and RMP and prefer the RMP.
