Sorry for your difficulties. It does sound like your cooling water passages could be clogged with salt & sand. Your outboard engine should be producing a solid steady stream of pee while at idle and when running at travel speeds. If this isn’t happening it will highly likely create an...

Thanks BigD & Thanks Jack M Great input. Much appreciated.

Great feedback Vikingstaff. I’m leaning towards Sharkhide mostly because many people have had a positive experience like you have had and also that’s the product recommended by my Bennington area dealer. Thank you for your input.

Thanks Jack M … never heard of SG Marine (Metal Jacket) but the video looks very appealing. I’ll dig further. I appreciate it.

Thanks 1trotter. I feel your pain.

I recently polished the pontoons on my 2020 Q23 and am curious if other members have tried a sealant that will help retain the shiny appearance? I’ve heard mixed opinions on Sharkhide and wondered if anyone has experience with Marine 31 Pontoon & Aluminum Sealant. Thanks in Advance.

Great advice from everyone above CraigTenn. Sounds like a great boat & great deal in today’s boating world. I’m hoping you go for it! If this Dealer is not willing to have it professionally buffed you could likely find someone in your area that buffs/polishes 18 wheeler aluminum tanks & wheels...

Thanks! BigKahuna & Jack M. Very helpful responses. I’ll be adding them to our Q.

Guys..the EzFenders look great but I’m wondering if they damage the dock lines at the tightened down contact point?

My wife & I live in Northwest Florida. At the end of 2020 we bought a used 2020 Bennington 23 Q Series from a lake in Georgia. Our Florida Bennington representative recommended we add 3 zinc anodes (1 per toon) and always rinse well because we do not have sealed lifting strakes. Fortunately our...
