I have been getting the Helm Power message on our pontoon. I have read the posted regarding battery rigging on a dual battery system with a 1-2 switch. According to what most say there should be nothing attached directly to either battery other than possibly an on board charger. I usually run my...

I would like to install a Noco 2 bank Genius battery maintainer to my 2022 LXSB that already has a 2 battery factory setup. Can I just run the wires from the maintainer to the individual batteries or would there be better way? I can work well with mechanical issues but I admit I am electrically...

That makes more sense. I agree cover would stay on unless you were having the Bimini top fully deployed. Your picture is how mine looks all buttoned up for the day. Hope to get the bunk kit soon for my Hewitt Hydraulic lift to convert it from Wake Surf boat and will then be able to leave it on...

I will look at mine when I put up this weekend. My plan was to leave Bimini mooring cover on when up which it will have to be to keep it from opening, but not sure what you are talking about with the Velcro, is this something you are doing on your own and not part of the Bennington system...

That's going to be great for us. I am new to pontoon coming from wake surf boat and making sure I have motor trimmed up in shallow prairie lake waters we boat in is tougher with the top fully down blocking the view and the people using the swingback seat will not have to duck down to get under...

Thanks for the reply. It just seemed like it was putting all of the weight stress on the inner lift mechanism if it is not supported by the struts. I like doing it your way and will try that this weekend.

I have the power Bimini on my 2022 LXSB. Can you raise to the Radar position with the Bimini mooring cover over the Bimini top? I have alway been taking the cover off and then the top starts to unfold. Not sure if leaving the cover on would be too hard on the lifting mechanism and if...

Just received text that our new 2022 23LXSB with 250 4ST DTS Mercury and Shorelander trailer is in and will hopefully be rigged next week for pickup soon. Ordered 10/23/21. Very happy with the text. Need to go to work on our Hewitt Hyd lift to install bunks for tri-toon as it previously held a...

23LXSB On order 250 Mercury 250 4S DTS. Age 63

How does the Verado compare to the 250 4stroke DTS in your opinions? I chose this over a Verado on my 23LXSB I am ordering.

Thats similar to what my dealer said as we are in a relatively large SD lake it does not get extremely rough.

On a related note what type of boat lift do most use? I will leave on a lift from 4/15 to 11/1 during the year. Looking a a Shorestation with the Toon rails.

No, can you help explain the difference?

Thanks again for the suggestion as I said above this is uncharted territory for us.

I think I tried out a minimum of 40 different combos before ordering. I will check on the separator with my dealer. The under the floor storage did not seem important enough to us due to the fact that we have a home on the lake so the ability to go back to the house to swap things out is easy...
