I am in the delmarva area and our winters are a bit more mild than Wisconsin but i did the same thing. I switch from Shrink wrap to a reuseable tarp with a 2x4 super structure to maintain an A-Frame pitch. i have been doing that process since 2021 with success. I have a 22 SLX and bought a 16mil...

Updating this post with photos. I will try to get some photos of the under deck wiring and over the season i will try to get some of theses turned on at night. (UPDATE! Found a shot of it light up at night)

Congrats on the new boat! This project was very easy, i fret over it for a few years before finally tackling it and then kicked myself for waiting so long to do it. So the Power Supply for the RGB LED lights was very straight forward. There is a white power controller that has a black AC Wire...

Thank you for the feedback! I will be posting photos in the next couple of days, i have to get back to the boat to take them. Excellent idea on the battery pack. I do actually keep one on board for the just in case. However, i also have the Evinrude E-tech 90 HP pontoon series which has a pull...

I wanted to circle back and provide an update to this post, i did move forward with this project last summer with great success and wanted to post the process of what i did for anyone else who maybe trying to do the same thing. This was done on a 2013 22 SLX with a single battery. Under Seat...

So this is a late reply, but figured i would answer it for anyone else who might be looking. I have a 2013 22' SLX in saltwater, slip moored through the season and trailer stored over the winter. I use and am very happy with Petit HRT/ECO bottom paint. I have the boat painted by the dealer and...

I have been reading this form which has a ton of great information on installing LED Strip lights both interior and exterior. However, i have not found much talking about how they are wired. I am looking to install LED Strip Lights under the bench seats both forward and aft, each seat will have...

The used market is a great option especially since Bennington Warranty is 10 Years and Transferable so it is very possible to buy a lightly used boat and still get a warranty which is nice. i would recommend If buying used to look into a marine survey or have a dealership do a a review of the...

Congrats on the new lake home and boat! I’ll share my experience as well, for what its worth. I have a 22 SLX 90 HP Evinrude Pontoon Series Engine i love the boat. It is our first boat as well and i purchased it about 3 years ago. I can say i faced all of the same questions you are. The...

Hello All, I am wondering if anyone has added a Live Well to a 2013 22 SLX after the initial build? My boat already has a live well switch, unused, at the helm and there is a mounting bracket on the rear toon for the water pump, so i would think adding one should be really straight forward...

Hello All, I am wondering if anyone has a double Bimini on a 2013 22 SLX? When i asked my dealer about it but they are saying its not possible, yet when i build to boat on Bennington's website the double Bimini is an option "Bimini Top 10ft Short, Double with Ball and Sockets 905766: Qty. 1...

I am looking for suggestions on reusable boat covers for a 2013 Bennington 22 SLX for long term winter storage. I know the benefits of Shrinkwrap, but for cost ($400 per year) and environmental factors i would like to explore alternative cover options with a 3-5 year life span. The boat will be...

I have had the same issue, and have found a white vinegar and water mix helped to remove stains, I have also used a mild dish soap mixed in a bucket with water, and for really hard stains I have used magic erasers with success. Once I use any of the mentioned solutions I hose off the seats with...
