And I'll add, unless you are fighting a significant wind or current, there is no need to power into a docking space. I cringe when I see someone pull rapidly into a slip and then jam the motor in reverse to act as a brake. A lot can go wrong doing that. Use coasting to your advantage. Bump...

I believe most, if not all, pontoon steering wheels basically mount the same. I wouldn't shop for an aftermarket car steering wheel and expect one to fit my boat. But if you're shopping on a boat parts site, I think you'll be fine.

If changing props didn't affect it and everything else checked out, the obvious answer is bent prop shaft or some other issue in the lower unit.

Thank you, as well, LD50. You guys are great. I switched the Hi/Lo input level switch to Lo and the volume control now works as it should! The volume knob now allows me to crank the volume without adjusting the sub. Even if we don't accomplish anything else, that is a huge win. And maybe...

And I now see there is a fader on/off push button. Heading back to the boat now to see selecting "on" solves the fader issue. EDIT TO ADD RESULT: On the amp fader button, I selected "on." When I tune the fader 100% forward, there is no change. Music comes out of all 6 speakers. When I tune...

Here are the amp pics. It's a Kicker KX M 800.5. Here you can see the entire top panel in one shot. This is the left third (from the orientation it is mounted) The middle third. I see the input level hi/lo button. And the right third

Here is a shot of the whole back of the PMX-2. I added the big labels when I did the swap. The manufacturer provided the small labels parallel to the wires. Aux input from the head unit connect to red and white RCA cables. Those RCA cables disappear into the spaghetti bundle. Front Line...

Thank you so much. That is exactly the information I was looking for. Here are some pics. You didn't ask for these, but maybe they are helpful.

I replaced the Kicker head unit on my 2017 23 RSB with a Rockford Fosgate PMX-2 and have some issues. I am not big on audio and know VERY little about amps and subwoofers but hope some of you can offer some guidance. The boat originally had the Kicker KMC10 head unit, a kicker amp mounted...

What's more important than being able to pull a trailer is the ability to stop a trailer. If I were driving one of the smaller tow rigs, I'd be focused on maintaining a very safe distance to the vehicle in front of me. You never know when something bad is going to happen in front of you.

1. Gas tank -- There are lots of possibilities. The only way to know for sure is to see the build sheet or look at the tag stamped on top of the tank. The top of the tank should be accessible through a port screwed into the deck. The location of that port will vary depending on where your...

Looks like cat claw damage to me.

I would cover it. That area of the boat gets a ton of water spray while underway. And when you come off plane, there always seems to be a wake that hits you from the rear.

I do it regularly. I would make sure to pick a ramp that isn't crowded so you can take your time without holding others up. Do all your pre-launch activities well out of the way of those using the ramp. I take off my rear straps and attach a dock line to a front cleat. Go to the ramp and...

I'm betting your dealer can provide you a replacement. Several years ago, I wanted to buy a second key for my 2001 Benny with a Honda 115. I walked into a boat repair business (not a Bennington dealer) with my original key and asked if I could buy a replacement. I gave the clerk my Honda year...
