This is the rear stern deck assembly http://bostonwhaler.com.s3.amazonaws....y-1999.pdf Here is the parts list: http://bostonwhaler.com.s3.amazonaws....t-1999.pdf Edited by Phil T on 03/06/20 - 6:12 PM 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

You could try the parts listed on the Whaler website for 2003 160 Dauntless. bostonwhaler.com>Whaler Ownership>2003>Dauntless>160 Dauntless>Diagrams>#10 Stern Deck Assembly and #11 Stern Deck Assembly Parts List. I will attempt to send my pdf copies of these documents to the email address listed above. I believe that you are looking for parts #41, 42, 43, and 44 on those diagrams. Obviously potential differences exist between 1999 and 2003 models, but the rear deck assembly seats look substantially similar. The Whaler/Grady parts guru Sue Lodell at Beacon Marine/Twin Cities Marine will accept credit card payment and drop ship parts to you. 920-793-2715 &920-553-5280. She has sourced many obscure parts for my 2003 160 Dauntless and is a great and friendly resource.

Here is the diagram. Phil T attached the following image: [30.89Kb] Edited by Phil T on 03/07/20 - 9:22 AM 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

If I needed to replace them I would use the webbing solution. They may not last as long due to UV exposure but they are so simple to make it's almost irresistible. Just remember to melt the cut edges so they won't unravel. Butch
