Just curious if the “flashing” hour glass symbol inside the RPM gauge indicates anything other than a measure of time? It is flashing on and off. Thanks.

Google has many options. Make sure you get the correct width. For example: https://www.boatersmarinesupply.com/m7/82146--t-h-marine-48-zippered-rigging-sleeve-black.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqzuJW2VVTQXQn1kUYSyTSZRYUx7m3PrimQNYPnVCT2DAdvWlSNaL4

If I am looking at it correctly, it is not a waterproof sleeve, but more of a friction sleeve so that cables inside can move easier.

I hope it is not a common issue. I have a 2024 SXSB.

Another option - I installed these on my dock. Always a soft cushion even on windy days. Tons of options available to protect your pontoon and snaps - thick cushions like these to smaller rail bumpers that would provide protection.

Maybe a long shot, maybe lower unit drain plug washer failure? They should be changed each time, but some people reuse.

Strange that the Garmin is also dead. Maybe something was not hooked up with everything or a master fuse, master power switch is not working?

With the birds being so comfortable sitting on the pontoon, might need to think of ways to discourage them with spikes, strings, etc.

IMO, absolutely.

It might take a little time for someone to respond. The Hull Truth site seems to have some very talented mechanical people - might be another option for you. https://www.thehulltruth.com

Others on this site have more expertise, than me but if it will not crank / turnover, I would start with electrical. I had an issue once, and just cleaning the battery terminals with baking soda fixed the problem and they didn’t look that bad. I would also check all the fuse / breakers...

When you say that the engine would “not turn over” was it cranking or nothing at all?

Can’t beat that price.

It seems that some businesses are so busy, they toss out crazy high quotes. If you don’t accept, they have enough business that they don’t care.

I would think that a painted toon would prevent the oxidation, which if true would be nice, but hard water and organic growth would still be an issue.
