And what’s the component with the green dot? Thanks

I’m currently at my boat and I do have gauges. Attached is a photo from under the helm. Question: do I have a gateway cable so I have to do something extra to update the Simrad software?

My guess, based on my previous Mercury, it is not digital. My mechanic is an independent and works on almost everything. Certainly the Bennington dealer in Indianapolis, I would guess, is almost exclusively Merc. I don’t necessarily think my Yamaha is out of spec. It falls in line with your...

It boots up to a Bennington screen. Here are the photos I took. Now I won’t be at my boat until Tuesday.

I am very familiar with mercury, outboards, and the accompanying shifting. It’s very smooth, without any hint of “grinding“ gears. On my new/old boat, my technician told me that Yamaha “grinding” was commonplace. Seems odd, but I’m not a mechanic. Any thoughts? Thanks

Just spoke with a Simrad tech - very polite individual who gave me sound advice and way to solve problem. Won’t be easy, seeing I have to shrink myself, crawl under the helm, and install a micro SD card with my fat fingers. Their newer models have an SD card slot on the face of the unit...

Thanks, Julianna. That’s a great idea and I’ll follow up. TR

Thanks for your quick reply. I believe the local Bennington dealer took the info to transfer the warranty. Still waiting on the official confirmation. My boat is 1 1/2 hours away. I’ll check on the diagnostic icons tomorrow. Until then.

Long time since I have been on the forum. I just purchased a used 2020 23SWB Bennington. It’s an incredibly nice boat, but I have a question about the Simrad unit. I have attached a screenshot I took of the display. It powers on, but it does nothing else. The boat originated in Massachusetts...

Thanks for your assistance. Worked like a champ.

Thanks. It's been great so far.

I've looked everywhere, and I cannot find how to change my email address. Any help would be appreciated. TR

Sue, I recently retired and need to update my email address. New email is bgetom@gmail.com. Can you instruct me on where I can do that?

He offered both the original part (stainless) and the plastic one as well. You make a good point about venting, which is what I was doing when he told me what the price of the metal original one was:)

I have a 2015 2575 RCWL that needs a new fuel cap. The bright, shiny ones are $85, and the plastic ones are in the $30 range. Are fuel caps generic in size or does Bennington use some proprietary configuration? Thanks in advance.
