    Yamaha F150 stalls

    I think you'd be better off asking the question on a bigger boating forum like The Hull Truth if not already. Lots of threads and suggestions there, like a bad VST or failing battery. It could honestly probably be 20 things so the more F150 owners willing to chime in the better!

    GARMIN 9" MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY TOUCH SCREEN WILL NOT TURN ON....2025

    Probably power to the unit, but check the easy stuff first. Fuses, circuit breakers and something really basic but worth mentioning, a switch that powers your MFD (my aftermarket is on an ACC switch). If you're handy with a meter trace out back to the source. Typically it's just a two wire...

    Why the beeping

    Is the alarm a low oil alarm or engine temp alarm? If low oil, and the reservoir is full perhaps the sensing device (internal float?) has failed or stuck, or needs testing? Problem with the oil injection system?

    Dog ramp

    Our cat thinks he's a dog most of the time.

    Modifying our boarding ladder....

    I know this is not likely to ever happen, but if you had an underwater camera pointed at the transducer while running it would probably show some turbulence that is creating an air pocket the transducer cannot beam or receive through. Gotta find some clean water so moving it around might end up...

    My experience with my new 2025 24LXSSB

    You got it, 17p has a 14.5 diameter. Looks like you're pretty much dialed in! Maybe with a little more break in on the OB you'll get 49-50.

    Options inflating a mat like a Mission Reef or Paradise Pad

    For our tubes, like some others noted electric high volume/low pressure pump to get 90% of the way there. The boat acc socket and wiring are sufficient for this amp load. Manual pump for the last 10%.

    My experience with my new 2025 24LXSSB

    What pitch Enertia? Also what motor height? If you're in the lowest position you should be able to hit 50 by raising it some.

    Dog ramp

    Here's a thread that shows the one we bought. https://club.benningtonmarine.com/threads/tri-toon-storage-what-do-you-store.11482/ Obviously having a place to store it is crucial.

    Capsized pontoon boat!

    Looks tippy.

    Capsized pontoon boat!

    Thankfully. Usually the rentals are the worst, no formal boater safety course required!

    Capsized pontoon boat!

    My guess - severely overloaded. I've seen one too many pontoons looking like there was a family reunion on it, the deck barely above waterline.

    Actual Red Tape

    In this instance we fished in Canada and CBP stopped us coming back into the U.S. The boat was fine, it was the trailer that had milfoil on it due to the boat ramp sitting in a field of veg.

    Actual Red Tape

    I guess if they feel boats are the vector (how else would they get to this lake?) then it makes sense to restrict them in some fashion. But eventually these damn things will take over every body of water so the question is, does it make sense to slow their spread to the detriment of property...
