Thanks for the wet/dry shop vac suggestion. I hadn't thought of that and if it happens again I'll give that a try. I'm just a bit amazed that Bennington doesn't put a more "breathable" carpet into it's boats since the floors invariably will get wet either from rain or swimmers getting back in...

I have a 2008 2275 GSI that last week unfortunately was rained upon with a heavy rain before I could get the cover on the boat.  The next day temperatures were in the 70's here in North Georgia, and I left the boat uncovered out all day in the sun - and the next day as well - and then the 3rd...

Hello again, Now that I have been able to remove the changing room mechanism, I'm going to convert that area to a secure area with locks. I'm replacing the non-keyed Perko front door lock with a keyed Perko lock (Ebay - $25), and will also install 2 barrel-bolt locks into the lid, one on each...

Hello,      Looks like Semperfi 18387 is right.      I found an old post on this forum (August 2012) under the title "Installing a Privacy Curtain on a 20SL" that lists a link to a Bennington 7 page illustrated instruction manual that not only lists "T Nuts" as being factory installed in the...

I guess that the method of attachment has changed since your boat was built because mine is attached with what appear to be stainless steel threaded bolts. GaRoc

      Since I don't use the changing room on my 2008 2275 GSI, I would like to remove the mechanism from which the canvas "room" hangs, thereby increasing the storage area in which to place fishing gear, etc.. However, I wish to reinstall the mechanism in the future when I sell the boat.    ...

Thanks to the Commodore on Looney Toonz II. The lockable rotating mechanisms you list would replace the existing non-lockable one on my boat, and if mated with a hasp or bolt type sliding lock mounted inside of the "roof" of the changing room the area should be secure. Thanks for the...

Has anyone found a simple but secure (and tasteful) way to install a lock on the changing room of a 2275 GSI? I'd like to store my fishing equipment in that space, and if it's locked it would probably deter a thief who may not want to spend the time and create the noise to break into the space...

Thanks. I just got off of the phone with another dealer and that's the same answer I got. Thanks for replying. GaRoc

Hello, I recently purchased a 2008 2275 GSI Bennington with one battery. All of my previous boats have had battery cut-off switches, the usual red circular kind, with a pointer that shows 1, 2 , All or Off to show which battery(s) if any are connected. I've looked high and low on the boat and...
