My alma mater (Michigan Tech) is having a 50th anniversary of the MTU four-wheeler organization weekend of May 31st / June 1st. and they want all the past presidents of that club to be present. Well, at 55K miles on my current tires, I was about ready for new tires anyways for the Gladiator and...

It seems to be a common issue a few members have had at the M brackets. Here is the old post https://club.benningtonmarine.com/threads/cracked-m-bracket-on-back-of-pontoon-and-leaking-water.12239/#post-156835

When I heard sloshing water in my tubes many years ago as I was scrubbing the pontoons on the trailer, I took it to a local shop. There are plugs on the top of the toons (at least on my twin 32 elips for each section). The put some very low PSI in each of those plugs and then went around at...

You set up looks good BTW!

I was just coming to say the same thing. They are nice. https://newwiremarine.com/product/10-switch-cover-kit/?srsltid=AfmBOord-w5a1INBlPcH1OMklECe5HHqNrN5AwYXsWO9EC0HYufiPaA_oU8&gQT=1

Might be a long shot, but this company says they buy from the same supplier that Bennington and many others use. I'm assuming his insurance is covering the cost of the repair? Might have to buy a bulk piece and have the dealership cut it match the piece that is damaged. They are out of Elkhart...

I'm sure you can find something that will fit. Just need to know the diameter of the boot. This one is for a Yamaha outboard...

Looks really good. Nice job. I had a buddy make something like this out of starboard (wasn't as pretty) and he mounted it using a pedestal and put it into in the ski tow pylon base that was in the back deck already. It had a nice curve to it as was about 40" long overall and contained 5 rod...

sharp looking boat. Congrats. Love the color combo

I used a motor cover from tuff skinz and used Meguair's ultimate spray wax / protectant on my Mercury 150 pro XS. Pretty much looked like new after 12 plus seasons. Motor was 2011 and sold in March 2024. The Meguari's was also used on the mid section and lower unit which wasn't protected by...

What is your current prop? Not Bennington but a couple of 21 footers from Yamahas performance bulletins with a 50hp Yamaha that might get you a baseline. From my experience 4 blades will get you hole shot and better cruise mph / fuel economy but you may suffer some top end speed loss...

It was on my FB yesterday and didn't even see it was the "other Dave Smith" I'm friends with. MY BAD :-) :-) :-)

Still rooting for Sparty but tell me that Blue didn't get screwed in the seeding? Beat Badgers both games in the reg season and in the BIG tournament and still got a weaker seed compared to Wisconsin? How's that work? Biggest choke of them all was Texas Tech tonight vs Florida. Up big with...

Happy Birthday Early Dave Smith!

My recommendation is talk to PropGods to get their input on propeller recommendations. Website below. https://propgods.com/ Hope this helps Todd
