    Motor alarm & flashing light on Simrad screen

    Thanks a bunch, Vikingstaff! That was the culprit. Emptied it out and no more alarm. I’m going to change the remote fuel/water separator as well and keep an eye on it. I should have checked the manual first but thanks for your input!

    Motor alarm & flashing light on Simrad screen

    Yesterday we had the boat out and after about 15 minutes of riding around an alarm started beeping and a red icon which looks to be some sort of oil alert started flashing on the Simrad screen. The motor was running fine and we never noticed any issues but we put it back on the trailer and let...

    Trolling motor shaft length

    I have a 2021 Bennington LS23 tritoon with the Yamaha Vmax 250 and I installed a 36 volt 112 lb thrust Minn Kota Terrova with the 54” shaft and it works perfect on my boat

    23' Bennington Owners input

    We ordered a 23LSNPAPG with the SPS+ package and a Yamaha VMax SHO 250 in October 2020 and received it in Jan 2021. The dealer had a Solas 14"x19P prop on it and I did not like the performance so after several prop changes I ended up with the Yamaha SWS 2 in a 15 3/4"x15P and now I am very happy...

    Production delays II

    I believe the VF250 is the 2020 and prior years VMax SHO. I have that on my 2021 23’ LSNPAPG and it is an awesome motor. If one of those is available I’d grab it now.

    Motor mounting height, ventilation & performance issues

    Thanks for all the advice. I just picked the boat up this afternoon after having the motor lowered one hole. Hopefully we will get to try it out this weekend.

    Motor mounting height, ventilation & performance issues

    We've had our new boat out a few times since we purchased it and I had to swap out props to get the right performance numbers and finally settled on a Saltwater Series II 15 3/4" x 15P. That pushes the boat right at 46 MPH at 6000 RPM with 3 adults, 5 batteries, our gear and a full tank of fuel...

    Taking delivery soon and have a prop question

    I am running 89 octane non-ethanol fuel. I’m thinking I should exchange the 17P prop for either a 15P or 16p Saltwater Series II.

    Taking delivery soon and have a prop question

    I was able to put a few hours on the tritoon this afternoon and after the 2 hour mark I opened it up to see how the prop would work. I ended up getting a Yamaha Saltwater Series II 15 1/2" x 17P put on to start with. My top speed is right at 44 mph at 5400 RPMs so I'm not hitting the upper end...

    Taking delivery soon and have a prop question

    My boat has arrived at the dealer and he has done all the prep and rigging. I won’t be able to pick it up for a few more days but he said he installed a Solas Saturn stainless steel 14”x19P prop. I used the prop selector on the Solas website and after entering my boat and motor info it...

    Taking delivery soon and have a prop question

    We placed an order back on October 1 for a 2021 23LSNPAPG tritoon. This is the 23' model that has the traditional couch seating up front, L shaped seating across from the helm and the 2 fishing seats and a livewell in the rear with dual stern gates. The boat is being equipped with the SPS+...
