We pulled the trigger this winter and bought the Lillypad replacement ladder. Installed it in less than a hour by myself on a I/O swim platform. It was too cold it try it out. It will be a huge improvement from the old drop down vertical ladder. I mounted on the radius of the platform. Had...

I have a 2008 2575 RCW I/O . When I bought the boat used, it had a piece of crap trailer that was dangerous. I only pulled the boat about 12 miles a year and the trailer broke down every year. I bought a Boatmate trailer 5 years ago and it is a world of difference. It is expensive but a...

We just had a barn built for boat storage. We measured our 2575RCW and it was 36' long from rear of outdrive to trailer coupler. We have a swinging coupler but we built the barn 40' so I don't have to miss with the coupler.

I don't know if those cleats are still used on a Bennington. If not, Bennington only stocks parts for a certain time frame. My boat is a 2008 and no parts are available.

The challenge with the ellipticals is that the centerline on the tubes is narrow than 3 tube or normal round 2 tubes layout. Our Hoosier trailer does not have enough adjustment to narrow the bunks enough. It is close and we tow 1000 miles a year so it works. The boat does not care that is...

If it uses the flat distributor cap, they are notorious for going bad and aftermarket caps can be bad out of the box. I have been through that problem a couple years ago.

We have a 2008 2575 RCW with the 350 MPI Mercruiser I/O. We fought an engine miss for years, finally the engine lost power. After lots of research, found out the Mercury has a fueling cooling system on the motor. Their mistake was that they painted the inside of the system and eventually the...

I have a 22' elliptical pontoon that had the hydraulic steering but no power assist. 95% of our boating is getting to fishing and cruising with friends. I went to power assist after a couple of seasons because it takes 2 hands to dock. One on the wheel and one on the throttle. Without the...

We put up a Dori Pole 8 years ago to stop a large bird from landing on the closed Bimini and leaving crap everywhere under the Bimini. It works great. The flag wore out and we bought a new flag and use the same pole. Only downside was the boat 2 slips down now has the bird crap on his boat...

Probably more than your 2024 consumption!

Lake Cumberland and our home lake have very steep ramps. We have the same issue at the top of the ramp, the boat has settled on the bunks and is now away from the bump stops. I just take the boat up the road till I hit the slight downgrade, tell Jill to hang on and slam on the brakes. Moves...

Is this what you are looking for?

I am at a job site northwest of Pittsburg today. I will look in the barn tomorrow.
