    2016 2550 RSR Transducer cable replacement.

    On my Benny, there is a connection just inside the access hole at the rear of the pontoon, with the excess transducer wire coiled up. I have also ready many had success using the existing line to guide a "glow rod" through, and others saying with the skirting removed and the glow rod makes...

    What model boat is this?

    The cut-outs suggest an L line, I don't believe this feature is available on S Line, and the Dash which I believe is different between each model I see in the L model gallery. However, the dealer can often over-ride options found on-line. More important - is it a pontoon or tritoon, and with...

    New PTMEdge pontoon boat mirror.

    Hello, I installed the helm mount (yep, drilled through the fiberglass) on the right corner of the helm and love it. Folds down nicely with no issues with the mooring cover. I get about an 80% coverage of a tube/board ride side to side. I generally have to use a towel or glove to get the...

    Extended bimini

    I Started with the double Bimini (that zips together) and cable stays - allowing me to "cruise" at 40 mph+ without a worry. Without the cable stays, the max MPH is 30. For a non-zipped / aftermarket unit I would suspect even less. I have seen some really simple systems using pole that provide...

    Correct Prop Questions,

    Thank you Dan - have you ever taken notice of low speed performance gains when docking using a 4 blade? I have seen a couple of posts suggesting the 4 blades perform much better, which makes some sense....but yet to find someone that can confirm with real life use....

    RePowering

    It seems real data on the "Best Prop" remains elusive, especially given all the possible configurations and uses. I have complied 39 pages of tests and comments, I will try to summarize this below. The Mercury Prop Selector for the big engine TriToon recommends (the the result details only...

    Boat Bling Hot Sauce/Cleaning Toons

    The Bling Hot Sauce was one of the few product I found to eliminate water spots with minimal effort and keeps my Bennington looking great: Chrome, Stainless, Aluminum, Panels, Fiberglass, Engine Cowl. I also use a special cleaner my detail shop makes that combines vinegar and a ceramic coating...

    Use of 303 on Simtex

    I understand (Per the Bennington 2021 Brochure - attached) they use the Simtex HiLoft2 with Permablok3. Simtex is made by Spaulding. Spaulding updated their list of cleanings which in 2023 started to include 303 (see attached), and it seems I recall someone posted that even Bennington now...
