I don't think that disabling a safety feature is ever a good idea.

I would look at raising the canopy. Certainly easier than cutting up your bimini frame. No way would I do that.

I have a 2026 SSR with a 90 HP Yamaha motor. I live on a canal that connects to our lake. It's a dead end canal and I live near the end. Unfortunately, the surface of our canal has a bad duckweed problem, sometimes covering the entire surface across its 50 foot wide width. The city does a...

Lolol...I basically said the same thing while you were posting..

Since you have one of the old ones to copy, look online for someone to 3D print what you need.

Yes...I need to talk to the dealer again in the morning

My boat was in winter storage at the dealer and was scheduled for delivery today or tomorrow. I got a call from the dealer and when checking the boat they found that a critter (mouse?) chewed through the transducer cable. Of course they didn't have one in stock and a replacement will be in...

What type of bottom? Water depth? Inland lake or ocean?

A socket for a flush mount shallow water anchor pole

Thank you. A good read and yes, you got lucky. I will inspect, measure and inspect again!

I'll confirm what i have when my boat is out of storage next month
