I have the dual battery setup from the factory. My buddy has a Bennington and added a dual battery setup. I never turn my switch off when leave the boat for extended periods. Had the same setup on my previous 2 Benningtons and never shut them off. Other than the obvious problems should I...

No they are made by someone else. I had Sea Legs on my previous 2 Benningtons and loved them but their customer service and standing behind their product was dismal at best. My dealer and the marina in Chetek dumped Sea Legs this past year for Ultra Legs. I had a weld issue on one of the Legs...

Let me start by saying my prayers are with the families that lost loved ones and all their property in the Chetek Wisconsin tornado yesterday.  I have Ultra Legs (a better version of Sea Legs IMO) and the tornado passed less than an 1/8 of a mile from my boat. It didn't move 1 inch. We all...

I bought some sound mat from amazon for $23 and the bass knob for $25 from Bestbuy and all of the helm rattleing is gone except for the door. I will put the door trim and see what happens   The dealer is ordering the NMEA2K for me and said they will talk me through the install. He said  its...

A Yamaha F200XCADL digital electronic control 2.8L.  It looks like a plug and play box system. 

It does rattle with the door open. I oredered some sound mats to put inside and will get the door molding and try that. I am also going to clean up all the wires hanging down with zip ties so it isn't such a mess in there.  What kind of upsets me a little is I specifically asked to have the...

Did you prefer it that way or are you buying the NMEA2000 network connection separately. I didn't have the option when I ordered my boat last October. 

Took my new 22S Swingback out Saturday. Sorry no pictures yet.   I have the Kicker Sub that is mounted under the helm. As with my last boat the sub vibrates the helm so bad that I might as well have saved the money and not got the upgrade. The dealer installed sound mat on my last boat that...

It's the Turbo Swing XXL and was $825 plus tax and free shipping from Amazon. My dealer put it on for free but it wouldn't be difficult to do yourself. 

Not sure if the Turbo Swing would work for you but I bought one and the dealer installed it for me. It can be installed very easily by yourself. It is attached using the engin mount bolts. 

I changed my signature to my new Bennington and most of the specs.  Its been raining since i got her home so when it stops I will get some pictures and post them.

I owned a couple jet boats, a Sea Doo and a Yamaha. Absolutely loved the Yamaha. Then I bought a cabin and my neighbor said "nice jet boat, that thing will never work on these lakes."  I laughed and said I love the thing and will never trade it. Two months later I traded my Yamaha in on my first...

Thanks guys. I googled it and saw a few things but just wondering if anyone on here has ever done it or seen it on an engine. 

Wondering if anyone has any ideas or has wrapped their engine. I'm looking for an American flag or eagle decal/wrap for a Yamaha 200. 

Been in aviation since 1991. Student pilot to flight instructor to flying cancelled checks in a crappy old airplane to a regional airline to a corporate flying gig I have now. I have 15 more years till I retire. I  look forward to sitting on my boat with reminiscing about the beautiful sun rises...
