3 Weeks ago I got the fever for a new Bennington. I had a 2012 RCW and the wife said the only way I was getting rid of her boat was if I bought the exact same model/layout. So the search was on. I only found 1 within 500 miles of me (Alabama) and it happened to be in Tennessee, a 2019 RCW...

I took my old cover off and treated with Star brite Waterproofing and about 2 weeks later, while on the boat, it started to rip and disintegrate. No idea if it was related to the treatment or just old so I called up Tumacs and got a new cover on order for my 2012 2275 RCW. I got confirmation...

Thank you!! This has some possibilities.

I have a 2012 Bennington 2275 RCW that has a Garmin GPSMap 431s that was stock. I am the 3rd owner. I like the GPS and works great, but where it is attached to the console is starting to deteriorate. Each time I pull the cover off, it moves a bit, and becomes more loose. Attached is a stock...

Which snap installer did you use?

I found out what it would take to replace the toon from a dealer: Starboard Toon - $4300 Freight - $1300 Installation - $1000 Needless to say, I'll be using a welder as long as I possibly can. So far so good, no more leaks.

I ended up letting my marina look at it.... and the verdict!! Water in the starboard toon. Apparently in pretty bad shape, which I can understand since I bought it at an outrageous good price and could see some previous spots that were repaired. Here is what the marina said.... "Our welder...

Where did you get your fenders? I'm having trouble finding fenders and ropes that match perfectly to the Matador Red.

After spending all weekend on the water, and the dealer being 3-4 weeks behind before they can even look at it, I'm going to start some diagnostics myself. I'm going to start with the throttle controller. If Neutral is straight up and laying flat forwards is wide open throttle, I've noticed...

It is the same prop I had when I bought it.

He just cleaned the toons and said that it should pick up 10mph. I think I need to find another dealer.

GPS

Yes GPS. It is a smooth ride.
