We purchased the original from Tumacs so they have all the specs.  Seems high to replace it but that’s the price Mike gave us.  I know we can rely on a quality fit.  Our first one has disintegrated.  We’ll go with the Sunbrella this time and take batter care of it.  

BoatingBob’s SO here.  We were quoted $1800 for a double (zippered) replacement for our 2011 2274 GLi.  Wondering if that sounds about right?

I think it was intermittent in that the up switch on the throttle went out before the down switch went out. More importantly ... a marine mechanic looked at it. The fuse was blown. Replacing that resulted in the ignition working, but the switch still didn't work. Would anyone continue to...

She kept adjusting the trim. After another day or so, the up adjustment was intermittent. After awhile longer the trim didn't work and the ignition switch wouldn't start the boat. We were dead in the water with three kids. Three or four hours later we got a tow to the dock. This will cost...

I have a 2011 2274 Bennington with a Evinrude E-Tec. My partner likes to tow her grand kids around on a float while turning tight turns sometimes in choppy water. While doing this she sometimes changes the pitch of the motor. I think she lowers the pitch it in response to some cavortation in the...

I have a 2011 Bennington 2274 and am a slacker about covering the boat and have paid the price in terms of sunlight-damaged sticking and expensive re-stitching. I am now thinking that if I had a cover, I could make my 66 y.o. body get the boat covered even if I expect to use it again very soon...

Yes, there is one half as far and I would use them for several reasons. Other ideas appreciated as well.

August 2011 I bought a Bennington that came with an Evinrude E-TEC 115 HP E115DHLII. A year ago the audio high temperature warning and warning light was going off every 20 hours or so. The dealer picked it up and replaced the water pump assembly. Transportation was $400. Not long after that the...

Can someone, please, tell me the name of the manufacturer of the fabric part of the bimini? Thanks.Bob in NC

Is there anything better to prevent that? Thanks.

If I have a complaint about an unresponsive Bennington dealer who is an Evinrude dealer (an Evinrude is on the Bennington I bought last September), would Bennington and/or Evinrude care? The dealer is unresponsive to my emails to two different people at the dealership. How should I best approach...

No, holes about half the size of a dime would not be.

These appear to be drain holes, but they don't seem to drain water out. They are not drain holes, are they? Thanks. Bob

There are two holes in each of the compartments below the forward benches. I had thought they were drains, but it appears water does not flow through them. Screws are not readily available. These are not drains, are they? Thanks. Bob

Thanks. I think it's: pure-­gas.­org
