    Center Toon Storage Drain Not Draining

    I believe the center toon with storage consists of 4 sections: Front area used for storage, a center section, a rear section that holds the gas tank & bilge pump, and the Transom section. My storage area has small holes that drain to the center, then the rear section, where the bilge is...

    Opinion on Prop for my 2025 24LXXSB

    Every season I have damage to my prop that requires repair AND RE-ALIGNMENT/BALANCING on my Benny SS Enertia Prop - being a river lake fed by multiple sources, and heavy use, there is a lot of stuff that floats around. Cost has ranged from $150 to $350. I carry an extra. One year the dealer...

    Tritoon fender recommendation

    We have a lot of old docks on our lake: Some are narrow enough that I have to use the rectangular bumpers that are much thinner than the round ones that I originally purchased.

    Mercury outboard 150 seems excessively loud...

    Here are two pictures of my 26LX 350Merc ESP - they appear very different, one looks very deep, the other just under the cavitation plate; I will have to get some additional pictures next outing. But, it seems you need to drop your engine! Note - the "side" picture is before we filled up the...

    Lithium Plunge - LifePo4 Swap In process

    Does anyone with a larger outboard (Mercury 250-450) know the gauge of their main battery wires? I want to order some Tinned Lugs for my next visit and bypass the Auto Terminal, but I forgot to look when I was with my Benny: Research suggests 2 or 1/0 AWG - but no consensus (possibly related to...

    Lithium Plunge - LifePo4 Swap In process

    Well, the wife was correct - two hours! I assume the existing AGM batteries were group 31, nope. The new Lithium's were longer and I had to cut the battery tray edge so I could get them to fit (correct sizes ordered) - an extra 40 minutes to pull out the tools needed (grinding wheel) and...

    Sun Tan Lotion stains on Seat Simtex Vinyl UGH!

    We have had no issues with Suntan Lotion staining seats, and we slather it on thick and frequent. However, we don't allow Tanning Lotions or Oils.

    Post up your other toys or hobbies ..... AGAIN

    Driving through Palm Springs this weekend on the way to Havasu (our first trip of the summer), it suddenly became sweltering in the car - the AC went out. After 3 hours trying to find a shop, I found a perfect way to get my 2007 Expedition AC fixed, buy a certified 2017 model! And BAM -...

    You for even though the tank is empty

    Here is some Data I have compiled on the fuel system from this site and others, it might be helpful. I have a terrible time filling when it is over 100 degrees out, if I turn the pump upside down, it helps a LOT. But, no stalling issues.

    Lithium Plunge - LifePo4 Swap In process

    Ready to tackle the AGM to LifePo Swap Saturday. Almost $100 in "extras". I did not want to swap out existing connectors, so I needed to find traditional Car Battery Terminals. Then the challenge of a separate bolt terminal for the electrics (The existing Interstate battery comes with both)...

    Kicker KMC10, speakers, amp, sub questions . . .

    Marc - are you still happy with the system? I have read a lot of positive reviews about this simple upgrade and seems to align with what we need. Thank you.

    Seat slide part

    Possibly you can use a door hinge and cut a section out?

    Tow pylon single pole slightly angled.

    Check inside the Motor Pod - you should be able to easily see the bracket and if it is welded or bolted. The fact that there is no play or wiggle suggests the mount was installed with that 2-degree slant. I can't imagine it would have any effect, other than driving us OCD Benny owners a tad...
