Enertia is what we ran. Best prop we found for our set up. Started with a 15x15 and ended up with the 15.3x14 on a 2011 2275 RCW with a 150hp Merc Pro XS.

With the RSB layout, there isn't much "furniture" wise that will block the motor noise except for the narrow backrest. Your motor position looks like your in the LOWEST mounting location ( ie #1 top most mounting hole) but can't tell 100% for sure. But from your pic, I can pretty much tell...

My 2011 2 stroke 150hp Pro Xs was fairly quiet on our 2275 RCW and we could have conversations between me at the helm and the wife in the port passenger seat. Yours's is a 4 stroke which should be more quiet then my 2 stroke. Motor height shouldn't matter. You have through hub exhaust. If...

A little more fun today. Can't beat a Monday on the bay as myself and my cousins 2 boats were the only ones for miles and miles around. Shelby beat me again but I did have my wife telling me it was too rough and to take it easy with her. HAHHAHA

Measure you base plate mounting pattern to the seat and look into a captains chair that has a flip up bolster seat. I love this feature on my new boat. Can use it as a regular height seat and then flip it up to get some better visibility as I'm coming into the dock or anchoring amongst a group...

Since I'm not part of the Bennington family anymore, I still like to share stories of our current Yamaha jet boat adventures. I'll give my daughter credit on not falling off the tube on the big water tubing advnture. Nice sunset pic of the boat at the dock.

We were in the same boat today all the way on Saginaw Bay / Lake Huron. SO hazy from the smoke

I second this. Sunedog and Big Kahuna spelled it our correctly. I put it in a home depot pump up sprayer. Lots of water on the trailer. I always started from the bottom of the toons and worked my way up as well.

True story. One of the guys a few years ago lost a bunch of screws and ended up using Blue Loctite to try and keep them in place. Lots of vibration going on down there

You may find your answer on Bennington's website. Is your's a M model?

Indoor or outdoor storage? First thing I'd look at is possibly a block fuel filler vent hose. Is your fuel primer bulb staying hard or does it get "sucked" flat when the engine stalls? If so, then you have a clog somewhere causing too much vacuum and most likely a clogged vent

These are fantastic. They are self adhesive strips that stick like crazy and then have a full length magnet to hold the light to the base. RGB. Remote control, dimmable, and uses USB to recharge them Its what I used on our new boat for interior illumination. You could put these on the frame...

They make one up to 50hp and available at west marine. Its a cage around the prop. 13 reviews of 4.9 rating https://www.westmarine.com/mac-s-prop-savers-troll-prop-saver-prop-guard-P011025673.html and then the conventional style for 35 to 70hp engines...

And today was the wrap on my daughters HS career.
