Check with the local experienced pontooners, their information will guide you to the best paint for your toons. If boat has never been painted, you’ll need a primer coat with 2 paint coats. Be sure not to paint over the anodes and include inside of transom. Enjoy!

Yes it is.

All that pontoon protection is great in most waters. Here on the East coast and bays…NONE holds up very well. For 10 years no one has proven me wrong. Sorry, that’s only my view and I’m sticking with it.

We clean it and leave dryer sheets too under the seats (opened). Never a problem.

Sorry bout your troubles. Figure close to 900 for new cowl. Let dealer figure out rpm drop is best bet. Best of luck⚓️

I do the same here in Delaware. I use the same 30 dollar tarp with grommets, (25 foot) for 3 to 5 yrs. Bungees hold it to the toon. I save anywhere from 1200 to 1800 each year. After a while, it does add up.

2012 GCW 2275

We recently updated to a 150 engine on our 2275GCW. Steering is same as before…cable and it’s no problem for us at all. And in our area of shallow water, leaving on an aluminum propeller makes better sense. Sorry for the pun, but do whatever floats your boat.

The mount did come with the unit at that time & I believe it still does. Mine is the Simrad GO5.

Like this??

You will need a new transducer but it does comes as a package from Simrad. They even have bracket mount for the units as well. Overall you’ll probably spend around 500.00 when all said and done. My unit works well and has the gps as well. It was worth the investment I made and believe it will be...

I replaced my Garmin depth finder with a 5 inch Simrad Go5. I had to widen the hole but it was worth it. It looks factory installed. The Go5 is no longer available but Simrad has another unit to replace it called Cruise 5.

I believe they are mainly zinc. Check with your dealer to be sure. ⚓️

I believe BigD is correct. You’ll probably never see much difference between those 2 engines. My 2275 Bennington had a 115 H.O. Etec and topped out at 28 mph. It pulled tubes and skiers as well with no problems. This year I repowered to a Mercury 150 and only get an extra 2 to 3 mph. Either way...
