Engineering high quality marine electrical components for safety, reliability and performance

Take a look at the 3rd picture on the Blue Star site above. I believe if you have a complex build with a lot of electronic gizmos Bennington may require the power distribution block to affix all of the electrical connections, fuses and switches. If a simpler build then perhaps not needed and could be why it was left off your build. On my build I have dual batteries and the electric power assist steering so I think it was required.
In all honestly I have no idea if this is the case, just a WAG. Might be worth asking the dealer for a picture of what this option is. For $200 it probably will come down to your personal preference on how clean the boat is wired.
So this is what confuses me. My boat that ordered has an upgraded speakers/stereo system, the RGB lighting and the ESP with the power steering. But wasn't required? Seems strange to me.
Then my initial assumption was incorrect - but I ran a build on the Bennington website and it seemed to imply it was required with the electric power steering (upgrade over hydraulic).
I would still defer to the dealer and have them explain what you are currently scheduled to get (picture preferred) vs. what the upgrade gets you. I can’t imagine that the Bennington forum would be more helpful than the actual selling dealer - if that’s sadly the case, then reach out to Bennington direct. They are very responsive to inquiries.
