DD26 Fishing Mean Stops Steering Locks (SET OF 2)
DD26 Fishing 4″ Mean Stops Steering Locks for boats 175hp-300hp in most cases
Our new patent pending design allows fitment for hydraulic steering systems with 3.75″ and/or 4″ of exposed steering rod on each side of the engine and will allow fitment with steering rods with diameters of 16mm, 3/4″, 20mm and 7/8″.
The way this system works is that a standard unit will come with the 3/4″ clips attached. Those clips result in a 4″ width. Should you have a hydraulic steering system that has a different width or diameter, you simply can purchase the proper clips for your set up and easily assemble them at your convenience. Additional clips come in the following set ups:
- 16mm diameter providing total unit width of 3.75″
- 20mm diameter providing total unit width of 3.75″
- 7/8″ diameter providing total unit width of 4″
Fitment of a steering lock has NOTHING to do with the ENGINE itself. So if you have a Mercury Engine it has nothing to do with the steering system. Its all about which hydraulic steering system you have.
A good guide of common fitment is: (but recommended to measure first)
- Seastar steering systems – Usually 4″ steering locks 3/4″ Diameter (most common) (These clips come standard with the DD26 Gen 2 Mean Stops)
- Seastar extra heavy tournament – Usually 4″ steering locks with 7/8″ diameter
- Baystar steering systems – Usually 3.75″ steering locks with 16mm Diameter
- Mercury steering systems – Usually 3.75″ steering locks with 16mm Diameter
- Uflex steering systems – Usually 3.75″ steering locks with 20mm and 16mm Diameters. Measure first.

A lot better then the plastic ones! The plastic ones break due to weather an use. These are built rock solid!

These things are rock solid! Had used rubber motor stops for years and upgraded to these. No regrets, just peace of mind on those long trips.

Gives me peace of mind knowing my motor is secured properly. I highly reccomend teaming these up with the DD26 mean mount.

awesome product!!
Chaz Hickcox –
Honestly I had been using the plastic ones from a competitor for quite some time, but after having these I should have switched sooner. I used to watch my motor wobble over every bump in my rearview mirror, now it’s solid as a rock.
