Our current Garmin works fine but the screen is quite small and we are looking for suggestions for another unit we might buy with a larger screen that we will be able to mount on the dash - there's limited space. Suggestions please! ksteinberger5261@gmail.com

John: I am looking for another Garmin with a larger screen for my 20' trilog. Can you tell me the model number of what you have? ksteinberger5261@gmail.com

It’s difficult to see the Garmin screen when sun is beating down on windshield of our 20’ Bennington tritoon. Has anyone experienced a similar problem and, if so, have you come up with a solution? Is there some type of “awning” you can buy to shade the Garmin? Would like to get my husband...

The bimini light pole on my Bennington pontoon won't stay up when underway. Has anyone had this problem? Know how to remedy it? Thanks!

We came down to Ocean Pines with our pontoon from Lake Wallenpaupack/Greenwood Lake. We found navigating these waters a bit difficult with two pontoons. After the first year, we bought a new Bennington tritoon at Shorts. We have been very happy with the tritoon. We've had it for three...

This year in the Indian River, Isle of Wight Bay, Assawoman Bay and Sineupuent Bay we ended up with a very large amount of undergrowth (barnacles, etc.) on our pontoons. Has anyone in this area received a quote for sandblasting the pontoons? Interested in getting an idea of the cost. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I'll try that.

Yes it is. My issue is getting someone to actually find out what's wrong with it. I am going to reach out to Mercury today.

We bought the boat new in 2017. This is a new issue.

We have a 2017 20' SLX Saltwater Edition Bennington tritoon with a Mercury 115 HP Four Stroke motor. Have had all maintenance done by dealer who sold us the boat (new). Boat wasn't running right since we got it back this past spring.....seemed to be OK for a bit and then at around 5000-5100 rpm...

Thanks, Michiman! Not so sure I like the look of the blue painters' tape but it is a great solution! I am suggesting that the Captain try adjusting the steering wheel slightly upward/downward to control the glare. Now, THAT'S thinking out of the box! (LOL)

I'm not going to try that, Jared! I'd much rather use the Coozie for my beer! Thanks for responding!

It seems the chrome "arms" connecting the steering column to the black steering wheel cause a glare to the Captain when out there in the bright sunlight. Has anyone ever had this issue? Any suggestions?

I agree!  Thanks!
