    Water in Toon

    Our 2025 , 27QXFBWAT2has a bilge pump in each toon, the same as the 2024QSBWAT2 that we got rid of. I could go on and on about how much water leaked into our 2024 but it was a contributing factor as to why we now have a 2025 which has much tighter tunes.

    Tri-toon Storage...What do you store?

    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.

    Wind deflection on QX model

    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...

    Wind deflection on QX model

    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?

    Mine is under this ice and snow loaded mess! Ugh.

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

    Another Speed/Performance Question

    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 Boaters!

    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.

    Vivid UX bug?

    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.

    Cleaning scale off engine cowling

    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.

    stripped bolt in side cowling....

    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...

    Battery Hold Down

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

    QX New Design

    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.

    Shark Hide

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

    Shark Hide

    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.
