I have been on the water almost my entire life, but a first time pontoon owner.
My boat is sitting in my drive in TX and my wife and I hear a big boom in the middle of the night and when the sun is highest. I have ask a number of people that own pontoons, a local service company, and Bennington. I have yet to have any9ne know what I am talking about. I have seen some comments online, but I don’t want to do any mods until I talk to someone that knows what I am talking about. I was told to loose the plugs and every section had some pressure, some high, some low, but everyone had some.
The current plugs are nylon and I don’t see any type of relief system.
I have two questions;
Anyone experienced a loud banging noise like a mallet hitting the pontoon when out of the water?
Are the pontoons normally supposed to have a level of air pressure all the time?
Thanks in advance to any help.
