Thanks, Semperfi. Problem solved

Thanks cwag911. Perfect site.

Good morning all. The nav light switch on my 2008 2275GL has gone belly up. Any chance there's a place online that would have replacement or do I need to go back to dealer? 

Thanks for the feedback, folks. Unanimous that I should not spray with coves on seats. Glad I asked!!

I've had my GL2275 for ten years. The first year, I got rid of the playpen cover and had custom seat covers made. Each spring, I've wash the covers, hung them on a clothesline to dry, then sprayed them with a water proofing product (303). Instead of spraying them while they're hanging on a line...

I'm surprised, too. Been working with same marina since the boat was new in '08 and had nothing but praise until now. Big-time mildew problem. Both on carpet and underside of decking. Normally, a little clorox and water gets rid of the mildew on the carpet but with the continually damp marine...

Thanks! Started with Damp-rid but just too wet to work well. Think I'll go with dehumidifier. Hadn't thought of fan. Good idea. 

I had my GL2275 shrunk wrapped but unfortunately, the job was done when the carpet and decking were soaking wet. The carpet and floor have remained wet for 6 weeks. I was thinking about putting a dehumidifier inside ( I have an access door) but thought someone out there might have a better idea...

Thanks much. I was on fumes (able to visually inspect tank) and it only took 23.1 gallons. I was surprised, thinking the tank should have been bigger. 

Can anyone tell me the size of the fuel tank (rear quarter mount) on a 2008 2274GL? Was unable to access any info on Bennington website. Thanks

If you keep your boat in the water, many of these recommendation to simplify attaching the playpen cover may not work. Besides, what part of a pleasurable boating experience involves crawling around the deck on your knees, typically at the end of a hot day? Bite the bullet and have separate...

I have 08 2274GL with 115 Evinrude. No way ur going to get 20mph @ 2500rpm with no passengers on board, much less 6-8 people. @ 5000rpm, yes. Not 2500. if i could do it over, i'd go all in for the 150. 

I have the same year and size Benny and I don't use a mooring cover (the devil's contribution to boating), so the carpet is exposed 24/7. It generally takes only 8-9 hours to dry even after a heavy rain. Moreover, the carpet still looks great after 5 years, so Bennington's choice of carpet...

Thanks All.... Great Loopers is a great resource. 

Looking for advise about what "other" items I might take on trip down the Intercostal Waterway. A buddy and I are taking his boat down in October from Annapolis to Ft Lauderdale then passage to Hopetown, Abacos. We'll be staying at marinas with access to provisions. Interested in thoughts about...
