Water in the toons? Sitting low in the water?

I had a similar event on my new 2021 a few years ago. It was pretty scary actually as the throttle was very unpredictable. Thankfully the fix was simple and my marina came to my dock to fix it right away. The throttle cable was incorrectly attached back in the motor. I'd start there. Good luck

Ok that is awesome, and creative! Very curious how that works/holds up - please update this summer. My ShoreMaster lift looks a lot like yours, and our lake is very rough as well. I haven't found my solution online yet either.

Is it unsafe to carry a small 2 gallon tank (like you would keep around the house for your lawn mower, for example) on the boat under a seat? I don't see it being any different than the 56 gallons sitting underneath.

Welcome to the forum (and the boat world!) Please include a picture of what you are referring to and I'm sure someone will chime in to help you open it.

I agree with Scott1. I have asked about this in a different post (https://club.benningtonmarine.com/threads/hoist-guides.14406/#post-182682). The problem with most of these hoist systems are that most of them use the pontoons themselves to guide, instead of the deck/rub rail. It makes no sense...

Wow that's awesome. Enjoy!

That's crazy. It shouldn't matter where you're "from." I've never heard of this before.

Oh most certainly. I was asking with the assumption that my marina would do it. Thanks though! Are there early signs that the impeller is going bad, or does it just fail and your engine starts to overheat?

Is this a big job? Expensive? And something they can do beginning of season or typically wait til winterizing time? I'm going on season 5 and now you got me thinking I should do it.

We're on a big lake in upstate NY. Typically we don't go out if it's over 15mph. Too hard to get it back in my hoist.

Go Irish!

Definitely recommend the power assist steering. My favorite option on our 2021 Bennington with a 150SHO. You can turn with one finger. Good luck!

Do you know where you got those hoist guides from? Thanks

Thanks Joeb14 - I see you are on Skaneateles, we are next door on Owasco! I think you're right that they should be higher out of the water. My thought though was that I would want the rub rails to hit first rather than dent my toons, lesser of two evils I suppose. The first thing to hit...
