Wow, thanks for circling back. A bad plug, that's pretty rare in a newish motor. Glad you got off cheap and all is back to normal.

I second changing the gear oil at the end of each season, also install new gaskets on both the drian and vent plugs everytime.

Wait, there should be a tiny red button on your dash, smaller than the horn button, that will reset a breaker for the switches. try that

Look behind the dash (instrument cluster). What model Azure?

In my 13 years of owning and running my fiberglass Bennington, I've gradually resolved to not overthinking things. Batteries being one of them. I run a pair of group 27's, the Autozone marine variant. Change them out every 5 years. Carry a never used charge pack on board. Leave it on both...

cleat for a hand towel holder?

I'll give it a shot, when down to the boat next time, late this month. Mine is the woodgrain dash, has held up pretty well. I's sand and spray paint it. Only thing our dash's have in common is the gauge cluster layout

Reminds me of the time I thought a vintage refrigerator would look cool at our beach house.

any mildew remover should get that out, let it sit for a few minutes to work. Lightly use a magic eraser, lightly!!! Do NOT be tempted to use bleach. Then treating is the key. I started using this product this year, very happy with results...

I had a similar issue that drove me nuts. Fuel line had lost a tie and worked itself under the back seat. When someone over 200 lbs sat in that seat, it would pinch off the flow. Finally figured it out after replacing all HPDI filters $$$

Brasso and 4x0 steel wool, use a light hand

No water? Lake Meade?

I have essentially the same boat, though mine is a 2006 and branded as Azure. Let me know if I can be of help.

No full strength bleach infers that a high concentration is fine. It's tempting because it will melt away stains, mold, but it will take it's toll long term on the vinyl and stitching. A touch of bleach, diluted in a 32oz spray bottle is more than enough.

Interesting how the water and conditions dictate type of anchor and scope. I boat on the sandy bottom Eastern Shore of MD with strong tides. I use the Fortress with minimum 5:1 scope. I think I be afraid of dropping her on a rocky bottom for fear of not getting it back.
