Well well well….looks life got in the way as it often does. Plenty of good news to share, and no real “bad news”. A couple months after I started this thread, and started work on the Benny, we were offered a house at a crazy price, with crazy financing options. So, without even discussing with...

Hey there JP - Can you get a close-up pic of the back of your gauge cluster? I’d like to compare to make sure I’m getting close to where the factory setup was. The previous bundle of wiring was so tangled and horrid….I couldn’t make heads or tails of it before I removed it all. Thanks!

Thanks for the info on the sub-model. Anything helps since there’s pretty much zero info on these things. Not sure if it’s useful or not, but there is a ski tow rope in the front compartment thats still in good shape.

GlassBenny - Not sure if the dash has been replaced at some point, but there was remnants of wood grain basecoat under the gauges where it hadn’t been sun damaged. Was this an option on the other models and maybe it got swapped out? Went back to it yesterday to start working on dash wiring, but...

Stuff that came in today….lol…

Thanks guys for the tips. I’ve got new gauges coming in hopefully by Friday, got the depth finder/fish finder and bilge pump today. Starting battery comes in Saturday. First thing on the list is just get the engine running. Hasn’t fired in over a year, so I’m sure fresh gas and carb cleans are...

Been searching like a few others here, for info regarding the Benny RL210. Of course, I’ve come up empty handed. I’ve resigned to the fact that there will be no support documents, manuals, etc. So what does that mean? It means anything goes! I just picked up a trade in at work (I work as a tech...
