Hey BigKahuna, I'm incredibly sorry for this late reply. Our DROP program "was" 5 years. I say was because, as stated, the City decided that the benefits of the DROP program, specifically the part that keeps senior, well seasoned vets around for longer periods so they don't have to hire and...

"I said TURN LEFT DAD, there's a sweet looking Schnauzer on the beach over there I gotta check out"!!!! Scott

Mike, Since we purchased our '14 Benny 2550 RCL used with a whopping 24 hours on it, we didn't have any choice as to any form of lighting packages. The boat did come with both under water and under hull LED lighting. Since we are not really night boaters, in the 3.5 years of ownership, we've...

Ya know, You're absolutely right about not being able to obtain those kinds of documents from GM, Ford or Chrysler. But, what you can get , with a hefty price, is a service manual for each of those mentioned I would think. And the service manuals, from the manufacturers anyway, do contain...

And I surely appreciate yours and all who've contributed to this thread. Scott

Hey Poto, Thanks again for your answer. Since the 50s unit was installed at the factory, at least I think it was since there's a blow-molded recess in the dash that's a perfect recess for it, I have no idea what the cost of it was when it was new. Was it or could it have been cheaper than the...

Folks, This is a long read, but it's detailed as to why I need(ed) what I needed. Read at your leisure. Take coffee breaks. Hey Potomacbassin, You're finally hitting close to home here. Bennington has responded as well as the western rep for Bennington. While both are trying to help, they're...

Hey Julianna, Well, I suppose I could go there. I've never heard of that site so, it would be new to me. The way I figure it, Bennington built the boat. They outfitted it with any and all equipment, including a GPS unit inset in the dash. They installed the Yamaha motor and all the accompanying...

Hey Potomacbassin', I appreciate you answering here. The Pitot system on the bigger more advanced systems/boats/engines/dashboards went away a while ago. My speedometer is definitely GPS driven. The speedometer has a tag on the back showing: 6Y80-11. When one looks that number up, it's a Yamaha...

Well, Again I appreciate your trying to help here. I have reached out to Bennington in multiple ways and at least two people. It seems they're dragging their feet. The western field rep and I had a phone conversation 2 days ago and he said he'd get a tech involved to assist with my speedo...

Hey SEMPERFI, That is darn close to what I need. I really appreciate that. May I ask, is that schematic something you had laying around or, did you request that from Benny? The very specific item or area I need is there but vague. This document is the first one I've seen since the beginning of...

Hey Jack, I surely thank you for this. Very much appreciated. Scott

Wow, no one can point me to where a wiring diagram might be for a 2014 Benny 25RCL? Scott

Hey Gang, Been bit since I posted. The last time I posted, I was installing a replacement Garmin GPS unit because the factory installed one, after about 8 years or so of flawless service, decided to stop tracking and showing charts, shoreline and more. It's a long story but in short, the...

jcr159, Well Sir, to tell you the truth, I can't remember how I wired it. I'd have to peek into that battery area (which wouldn't be hard at all since the boat is parked under a cover next to our home) and see just what and how I did the wiring. I may have just split the wires, pos and neg...
