Given that we've now (thank you all!) figured out that this was a TB installed radio, and that it isn't a marine model, and it has a nearly impossible user interface and that anything on the LCD can't be seen in full sunlight.......... What are suggestions for a replacement audio unit that: 1)...

Yep, I think you are correct, Jim_R. Searching on the internet says that the CDE-9852 is a "car" radio and not marine. So, you are correct that probably sooner than later we will be replacing the 'head' unit as well. TB did some research that showed they did install Alpine for a while, so I...

Well, yes, I am 'complaining' about the speaker cones disintegrating. They are not even directly exposed to the UV rays of the sun behind their grilles. Plus, we keep the boat covered with the playpen cover from September through March, and with a light weight tarp during the summer. We're...

Thank you for checking. I was sort of wondering about the honesty of the dealer (who is not your representative here any more!). RadioActive

You are absolutely right, SemperFi. Marine electronics, including VHF marine radios and some marine stereos have assembly boards 'conformally coated'. This is a rubbery plastic that is dipped, sprayed or brushed on the boards after assembly, and it keeps moisture out of the electronic...

CC_PA: There is a railing on each side of the front gate, so there is an adequate handhold to use to steady yourself on the ladder if there was one there. RadioActive

Let's see if I can answer some of these: Jim_R: Yep, I'm the original owner. I also did not see a picture post in your comments, but mine had no manufacturer shown. No one had done any upgrades. This was directly from the factory. The wires were so tight the speakers would not even fall...

In doing a routine test on the 2075GS's systems, I found that there was no sound coming from the port bow speaker, and very little distorted audio coming from the starboard bow speaker. On the 2075GS, these are located in 'fishing lockers' on the port and starboard bow (I use them for the...

Thanks to all for the replies and concepts. After doing an awful lot of internet browsing, it appears that the Garelick models 19626 or 19843 with the 99187 mounting bracket might fit the bill. These seem to have a split vertical support where the lug on the middle pontoon could protrude...

Just for reference, my Bennington looks sort of like this, but has a third pontoon in the middle. So, no deck to stand on to get to the ladder unless the ladder is right in front of the front gate. RadioActive

Thanks for the responses. However, the problem that I see from these for the triple pontoon is that you have to have some deck space forward of the safety rail to stand since these ladders are mounted off-center. My model Bennington vessel has absolutely no deck forward of the safety rail to...

We have a 2006 Bennington triple pontoon boat on a large lake. This model has a front center gate in addition to the port and stern gates. I think the model number is 2075GSi, but that is from memory. It would be very useful to us to be able to use the front center gate when beaching the...
