Mooring cover, poles, flag when not in use, table when not in use, a couple wet buns, and our emergency paddle. Ours stay dry in this boat (2025) unlike our 2024.

Hopefully the redesign helps keep more of the wind off on your new 26 model. I did find the site below for Wind Aways Texas, they claim to be; "Home of the original, removable, crystal clear wind deflector" I sent an inquire to them to see if they have anything that would work on a Bennington...

Is anyone aware of any type of modification that can be added to the windshield on a QX? I like the looks of the windshield, but it doesn't offer much in the way of real wind protection. I was wondering about some sort of clip on wind deflector that might help?

Sorry to see this, fingers crossed that you come out OK.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the 350hp Verado require premium fuel for optimum performance? Not sure if that's a concern, but certainly an increase in operating costs on top of price increase to go rom 300hp to 350hp.

Merry Christmas to all! We were blessed with unusually warm weather (70) and were able to take the boat out for a couple hours on Lake of the Ozarks, saw quite a few others doing the same, really makes us appreciate having outboards that allow us to do so when temperatures allow.

Based on my experiences I wouldn't hold my breath for a call back from Bennington, a strong dealer is the key to getting support for your boat.

Before we became Bennington owners I used "snow bowl" toilet cleaner on the lower units, props, and thru hull exhaust on our 32 Envision stern drive with the same results you mentioned.

A couple links below for screw extractors I have used in aviation maintenance with good success, be sure to the hole diameter is correct and deep enough. I use an T-handle tap wrench to drive for the type that Aircraft Spruce carries, and a 1/4 inch drive ratchet for the ones available on...

Not sure if this is helpful, its from our 2024 Swingback, # 3 battery position.

I saw a new 30 QX last month at the LOTO in water boat show and meant to post these pics of a 30', 10' beam earlier but time got away from me. I was surprised how low the stern sits with twins, I guessing the bilge pumps get a workout on this boat.

we definitely have Metal Jacket on our new 2025, tag was attached to tune.

Thanks for the info., I'll be checking with our dealer to see if it was applied to our new boat. The product spec claims it lasts 5 years.

Curious about Metal Jacket, is it safe to assume it serves the same purpose as Shark Hide and is just another vendor / product name? We recently swapped out our 2024 - 27 QSBWAR2 for a 2025 - 27 QXFBWAT2 that I assume would have the Metal Jacket.

I use the factory Yamaha covers, however our slip is covered and haven't had the boat that long. This will be our first pollen season so I expect them to help out with that.
