Are your lifting strakes sealed or open? Maybe the toon is not compromised (hopefully).

I don’t have a measurement for you, but I would probably use some clamps and experiment different positions, viewing how it fits with the existing top, how level it is compared to railing, and how it fits when closed as a start before drilling.

Fruit snacks and animal crackers!

I am not a loading expert, but It really helps to have two people working together. The characteristics of the ramp also seem to make a big difference. A ramp out of level or shallow / steep may take different strategies. I am not a fan of power loading but it really helps me with my bunk...

They look nice but unfortunately are not rated while moving. Would be nice when at the sandbar all day.

I would start with the Bennington dealer, although they will not be the cheapest, they usually have experience in proper installation. I worry about the safety risk of improper installation.

Looks like a tie-down ring to me. Maybe to secure it at the dock? Just guessing.

Thanks for following up with the good news.

Glad the dealership stepped up. Such a strange situation, hopefully one that you will never have to worry about going forward. A good dealership sometimes is just as important as a quality manufacturer. I can see why people say pick the dealership before picking a brand of motor.

I can understand if Bennington didn’t install it, that it wouldn’t be covered by the warranty. Did you purchase the pontoon new or used. Maybe the dealer installed a non-Bennington part for some reason.

Is your Bennington a tri-toon?

The easiest avenue as you know would be to find a new remote. I don’t know if any of the dealers in your area would have one in inventory, but I would call or email a dozen or so and ask if you have not done this. Might be a long shot. The UltraLegs web site has a dealer listing that might...

I would suggest contacting Ultra Legs customer service. Another option is to see if you have the Bluetooth attachment that will allow you to use your phone as a remote. https://www.ultralegs.com/contact-s/103.htm

I am sure that is frustrating. I would guess they just don’t have the demand to stock every part for a 14 year old boat. It might not even be Bennington if they sourced the original parts from a supplier. Another option might be to find a local 3d printer vendor who might be able to help...
