    Kicker replacement question

    My 2016 has a Kicker KMC10 and a KRC15 remote. The knob on the remote is a little fritzy, and since we mostly listen to SAT radio I was thinking of upgrading both units to the KMC5 and its associated remote, the KRC12. However, the lack of any kind of display on the KRC12 seems like a big step...

    What are these wires for?!?

    Ooo. I guess that makes sense because I *think* (need to verify) that I had a rocker switch on the right side of the wheel that didn't seem to have a purpose.

    What are these wires for?!?

    So I'm swimming back to my R25RSR two days ago and I notice two wires with covered female connectors dangling just above the pontoon on the left side (as you look at the boat from the rear). They run into a snake which joins with another snake and clearly up to the console. What could these...

    Go from 150hp to 250hp?

    Thanks for the responses!

    Go from 150hp to 250hp?

    25 foot RSR-FB with the sport tube.

    Go from 150hp to 250hp?

    So if I can get my 25ft Benny up to 34mph with just me and 22mph with 9 people on it with a 150hp, what would I reasonably be able to expect for extra speed if I upgraded to a 250hp?

    Adding weather input to Garmin 53dv

    No one?? You sure? You checked with all 8,660 members? People ask questions about Yamaha, Kicker, etc. here. Why is a question about Garmin redirected to the Garmin site?

    Adding weather input to Garmin 53dv

    You know, I wasted 30 minutes browsing the Garmin site and then the internet trying to get an answer before coming here. I figured I'd ask in this forum because it's a generally friendly and helpful place and I figured since the Garmin 53dv was standard equipment the year I bought my boat that...

    Adding weather input to Garmin 53dv

    My Benny has a Garmin 53dv. I see that the gauges have placeholders for things I could get from a weather sensor. How do I go about getting the right device and hooking it up? I can find lots of advice for working with NMEA 2000, but it looks like the 53dv is NMEA 0183 and I am having trouble...

    How much do seat covers fade?

    That's encouraging.  Thanks.

    How much do seat covers fade?

    So we bought a 25 foot RSR-FB with the sun lounge option last year. After we brought it to the lake, we noticed that Bennington had installed the incorrect brackets for the sun lounge cross bars, which made the sun lounge unusable for the summer.  We bought it in for storage in the fall and...

    Sun lounge question

    Alrighty.  Confirmation from Bennington that I've got the wrong brackets installed!

    Sun lounge question

    I also hope so.  I've seen a few posts where people mention having it.

    Bimini Incident

    I don't know about wind, but my bimini doesn't like when I try to pull into my lift without putting it down...

    Kicker KMC10 Stereo Questions

    I'll pipe in. I opted for the Onyx with car kit.  When we aren't on the boat, I put the whole thing in a gallon ziplock and throw it under the console.  When I take it out, I have all the wires secured with vecro, and the dock velcroed to an old Garmin GPS beanbag mount.  I set that in front...
