the boat was new last season. It's a 2025.

Thanks, it seems to me that the engine might be reving up too soon. I will ask the technician about the adjustment under the cover.

Thanks

Thanks again for all the advice I I'm looking forward to this season.

Thanks for your comments. I generally coast into my dock. If I am coming in too fast, I will try to slow it by putting it in reverse, but as soon as the gears engage, it usually stops the boat instead of slowing it. I expect it is just getting accustomed to it, but it feels to me that there is...

I have power assisted steering.

As I approach my second season with my boat I am trying to better understand the throttle adjustments. I posted a description of my 20' Bennington tritoon earlier. It is my first power boat. I have many years of experience with sailboats and auxiliary motors, but this weighs about twice what...

I am not sure why my dealer pumps out the gasoline for storage. I assumed it was an issue with the insurance. He must have a way to pump it out. In a related question, my dealer uses ethanol free gas, and I found a place not far away that I can get this during the summer. Last summer I...

Does anyone siphon gas out of their boat into a storage can? My dealer pumps the gas out before storing the boat and refills the tank in the spring. I turned it in with almost a full tank this year. I think ethanol free gas will store for the winter even if it needs stabilizer.

Thanks, for the information. I spoke with Garmin and they tried to troubleshoot the issue and then referred me to Honda who referred me to my dealer, but my boat is in storage now. I was hoping someone else had solved this particular problem. I used the range all the time with my electric...

The link from Nautical does not work anymore. Are there other pictures or information that is still available?

I have a Garmin 743 on my 2025 20 sxs. I can see a fuel reading (percentage of the tank not gallons of fuel), and I can get a fuel usage (gal/min) as well. It seems to me that they have the data to calculate the range, but I cannot get a range calculation. That field is always blank. I have...

Embden Pond, in central Maine. We have a camp on the lake. Where are you located?

I purchased a new Bennington 20sxs last year. We purchased the pillowtop diamond pressed Upholstery Upgrade (SX). With all the warnings and discussion of ruining the vinyl I want to take good care of it. We keep the boat on a lake in Maine and use it daily, weather permitting, for about 9...
