When I raised my captains seat I added an elevated footrest to keep my feet from dangling (see photo). The elevated seat was great but not always comfortable without the elevated footrest. Taller people may not have a problem.

I converted manual to power Bimini. Search in upper upper corner for post with content ‘Power Bimini’. Refine with my name, ‘DVW’.

This is a pontoon forum. Your link says that anchoring from the rear could cause the boat to roll over and capsize. In addition water seeping into the boat could swamp the boat. Really??

I have made a drastic change to the side fill configuration on my 22 ft boat. Got rid of side fill for reasons unrelated to the problems I was having with filling. Your description of the fill spill problem is that it is hard to fill and it makes you anxious. Based on that description I do not...

Tri-toons are very common. The most common has 25” tubes and is 8 1/2 ft wide. Scissors style take up a decent percentage of that category. I would think they are common.

I slid back my fence in my driveway. Not capable of doing job over water. Maybe you are up to it. You are smart to start with VIN number. Job starts with getting the right switch. Back up a little. As I recommended above, start by determining if the switch can be lifted out with the switch...

I have a 2021 SLX. Attached is a photo of the whole fence subassembly slid back to gain access to the big hole on the console. The fasteners (tee-bolts) where special and somewhat hidden. I have done this twice. The second time was much easier. It was not as easy as lifting the hood of my car...

Answer to your first question. It must be the ignition switch is at fault. When I did this job removing the 4 small panel screws did not allow me to lift the switch along with the small panel. Could work on your boat-try it. No one is small enough to crawl under the dash and work in that small...

Premier Marine played with a grandchild co-captain seat. Finding a match to your existing furniture could be a issue. If your existing furniture has a bench with a center insert then order that insert. Make sure it is finished on all sides and is of sufficient width. Your dealer will need your...

Yes you will need to work with the basic design of the primer bulb to get fuel up into the bulb. The bulb has a free floating check ball on each end. When priming make sure you are holding the bulb outlet somewhat upward so the balls can rest on the seats. For the benefit of others the outlet is...

Do not have a diagram but I can describe the fuel flow path. The fuel flows from the tank to the filter and then on to the squeeze bulb and finally to the motor that contains the fuel pump. It is probable the bulb has collapsed do to plugged fuel filter.

Besides seat height my only complaint with the seat is having to fiddle with the rotation friction adjustment. It seems to loosen up and then it gets to rockin and then the plastic sleeve feels like it is beat up. I replaced the captains seat post with the next size longer post. My justification...

Remove the seat. Here is what it looks like.

Search for ‘side fill problems’ in upper right hand corner. I replaced my fuel side fill with direct fill tanks for reasons unrelated to the problem. In that process I studied the side fill parts that came out. The fuel fill system is designed to prevent overfill at the gas docks. I think it is...

It is probable that the whining noise is normal. When the electro-hydraulic power assist pump is located in the fiberglass console it is noisy. Oftentimes on pontoons the assist pump will be located under a seat for this reason. Peek into the console while steering to confirm location.
