    Cup holder and throttle

    My dealer called it "The Beer Throttle Governor". I put a flip down holder from West Marine on the throttle helm panel even with helm seat height. Works great for my new Yeti tumbler.

    Replacing echo101, has anyone done it?

    Totally agree! Hardest part was doing the install solo, otherwise nice retrofit from 100 slot cutout!

    My new LED and Garmin 301 Downvu install

    Kelli's, I hooked up to the empty 5 amp switch next to mood light on GSR, the LED strips only pull 2.3 amps per side. The only issue was getting the correct spad connection on switch. The instructions on the wiring package doesn't match the Benni schematic so a little investigation got it...

    My new LED and Garmin 301 Downvu install

    The DownVu is a neat trick for a depth finder. Works best in shadowed or low light and you can program various color schemes. I've found old bridge formations, small buildings and forest groves under the lake just riding around. You can see a lot of apparent lost anchors and ropes in certain...

    My new LED and Garmin 301 Downvu install

    The unit has same footprint of G100 so it fit great in factory slot. The transducer cable could not be used for the rear pigtail used by factory for quick connect. Fished new cable above Port toon, then through midsection to factory cable opening under helm. The G100 power cable was kept in...

    My new LED and Garmin 301 Downvu install

    Took about 3 days to do install with no help! Use two fish tapes for new transducer cable, 301 fit in old 100 cut out from factory. Downview 3D effect is a classic look of what's under your boat. LEDs were installed with boat on lift, a lot of laying on back. Bought LED kit online from...

    Night Time Navigation Questions

    Adam2012 - one tip, to go along with these other great suggestions, is place white reflective tape on posts and/or inside cross beam if a pulling in dock slip! The Bennington stainless dock lights pick up reflection from at least 30-40 feet. They are basically un-noticeable in day time for...

    Switching out Garmin 100

    Got a Garmin 100 with my new GSR expecting it to be adequate for our pleasure cruises. This week I discovered the Garmin 301dv and fell in love with it. I now have been wondering the complexity of changing out unit, wiring and transducer. I believe the foot print of the 100 & 301dv are...

    Boat Upgrades

    You guys really stay on top of things! In respect to the option pics discussion, I vote for it! When we ordered our GSR we cut out pics from the 2013 & 2014 catalogues to piece togather an overview of panel colors, options, front, back and motor. It helped when my wife or friends asked "Now...

    New Delivery issues

    Lakeliving I am not sure. I remember looking over the prop seeing Reliance?? or similar during the first look at dealership. That day was a blur though. I planned to ask the shop Forman the pitch but never got to it, since I had read on the forum about 13, 14,15 difference on a Yamaha. What is...
