Geez stains are an issue. I had a bad stain from the recommended cleaning method (dawn). I was freaking out. My wife took her time and used a 10 percent bleach to water solution (per Bennington). She used the solution and rinsed with bottled water as she rubbed gently. I was shocked.....but...

Hello all. Bennington is best boat ever owned.  It is sweet!!! I do have a question.  I brought my verado in for 20 hour servicing. I was under the impression that next servicing is at 100 hours. Dealer told me today that there is a 50 hour servicing as well. I do not believe this is the...

Question. I assume I should not apply fabric guard while cover is on boat. Definitely do not want to stain seats etc. Do you guys and gals just lay out on driveway for example......or do u hang it somehow. I think I will spray boot while on. Also....do u do bimini while top is up. Thank you!!

Brand new Benny........and bird crapped on vinyl.  I used dawn to clean stain per manual......and now bird stain is gone........but there is green tinge to the vinyl. Any experts out there that have ideas. I am super bummed!

Nope. Just paved. I am leaning towards not doing as well. I like easy.

Hello all. Pick up boat Monday. Does anyone use a rock guard (flaps) on tow vehicle to prevent dings on toons or fencing? My thought is that the pontoon sits high enough where rocks might not be an issue. Just curious. Want to get it this weekend if needed. Anyone with experience?

Just regular rejex protectant. Name is Rejex.....that's it. I think it was their first product.

Hello all. Still prepping for new boat. I have used rejex on all outboards with fantastic results. Love it. 2 questions (or 3) 1). Has anyone done entire boat with rejex. Rejex claims it does not hurt vinyl graphics etc. I do see that it contains petroleum though. Risky? 2). Do you guys...

I appreciate the responses.  Sounds like I have everything pretty much covered. This infloor storage is going to save me some headaches.  I just need to keep it organized & not just create a "black hole". I read about this here, and I will use either milk crates or the plastic storage bins...

Ok....going to be a new Benny owner soon.  Super excited.  Boat arrives at dealer around Wednesday. I had a Lowe before so definitely upgrading (although I loved the Lowe).  I want to do everything right before I hit the water.  Nobody told me that the "toons" ozidize immediately last time &...

I take delivery of 2015 Benny in a week or so. It is my understanding that I will use Dawn & H2o as cleaning solution. 1)  Do I just put a couple of drops in spray bottle & that is the solution? 2)  Do I use distilled water? Thank you all. Soooo excited. Also........should I apply 303...

Anyone sharkhide their trailer? or the rails (I assume no)......I just wax

Boat comes in a couple of weeks. It will have sharkhide applied at factory. The guy at sharkhide said that Bennington does a nice job. He also said that they apply 2 coats. 1) did most of you apply a 3rd coat? 2) did anyone do their trailer? 3). Can anyone confirm that they do in fact...

I have a new bennington that will be on truck 4-22-15. One piece of advice I would give to every new toon owner. NEVER put pontoons in water before application of sharkhide. The biggest dis-service my dealer did me with my previous Lowe was not telling me the toons would oxidize (bad) after...
