    Looking for replacement hardware

    Hello, On the lake this weekend I discovered I'm missing a couple parts. I've written Bennington hoping they can give me some numbers, but no reply. I have a 2016 24SSRX (tri if it matters) with dual bimini. On the front bimini strut there is a sliding bracket for adjusting the overall angle...

    Steering wheel thickness

    I searched for this and couldn't find it. Does anyone know the thickness (not the overall diameter) of the standard chrome / black steering wheel rim? I'm wanting to add a suicide knob (who I'll affectionately name "Buster") and need to ensure it will fit. Thanks!

    Boat names

    Ours is named "Caledonia". My heritage is Scottish.

    Loading the boat onto the trailer.

    Mine came with some slick black plastic wrap on the bunks and carpeted guides.

    Flag Pole pin size?

    Thank you.  Got one at Tractor Supply and it's a much higher quality piece than what came with the Bennington kit. I think I'll rig it with some paracord so it doesn't swim with the fishes again.

    Flag Pole pin size?

    I've lost the pin (with the secure clip) that holds the flag pole in the Bennington base.  I forgot to measure the hole diameter before I put her up and wondered if anyone has the size handy? Thank you.

    New Boat, Wind and Bad Dock - I am sick!

    Don't sweat it.  I had a similar wind incident where my rookie butt had the trailer too deep (after getting frustrated watching Bubba try to load a custom jet boat for 20 minutes and churn up the no wake zone) and knocked loose a guide board allowing the metal strut to scratch the inside of a...

    Front Ladder

    This weekend after I launched, my Wife parked the truck and I came in to pick her up.  Since we are in Texas our water level varies quite a bit and the dock at the ramp was high and dry.  We discovered her 5' self couldn't get up onto the front deck so I had to reverse in so she could get on the...

    Upgraded my speakers

    Thanks, y'all.  They do sound very good, and I can hear them from the water which is where I'll be. I got them here:  https://www.crutchfield.com/p_13691881/JL-Audio-MX650-CCX-SG-CR.html?tp=61755 I skipped the LED lighting; don't really need it.

    Anyone here from Texas?

    I live NW of Austin in a small (rapidly growing) town called Liberty Hill.  Lot's of lakes within easy reach.

    Upgraded my speakers

    After a bunch of international travel, I was finally home long enough to install my new speakers now that it's 104F here.   :wacko: They replaced the nasty Bennington Qmarine paper cups and sound amazing; even on the stock Sony head.

    Stereo Change

    Sony MEX-M100BT That seems to be the popular DIN replacement / simple upgrade.  I'll probably install one this fall.

    Regular Street Gas on Lake Travis

    There is no street gas on Travis.  All of the pumps are at Marinas and they charge a premium.  The area where your hotel is located is a very nice community.  There are a lot of regular gas stations nearby; I suggest you use the Jerry Can and Super Siphon method.  Just keep it on the downlow...

    Large review mirror suggestions?

    Does it affect the mooring cover?
