Anyone ever have to replace their horn? Mine has stopped working. Dealer said it should be a warrantable item and gave me a strong idea of how to get to it, but I figured I would ask here since it always seems like someone else has had some experience on most topics and its very helpful info...

Well, after I talked to the Dealer, Here is what I found. Somewhere in my model yearish. Bennington went with a raised transom to keep the powerhead elevated out of the water, thus creating the need for the XL motor. Basically, higher transom& longer shaft kept motor in original positional...

Photos as promised.

no water in the toons

To be clear the motor can be moved, but only up. Its on the top hole. I will take pictures before I put it in and move it back to its dock

Well, news was not as expected. It appears as if the motor being in the lowest position is the best it can be. Tech said it actually should go lower. I just got the call. I am so confused. Said it was a pre-rigging issue from Bennington. I have no idea what to do now..

It does to a degree but I feel like I am almost plowing I have never had a boat that is at zero trim at WOT.. Just seems odd..

Its going to a dealer this Sunday to get raised, at least I hope so.. I will re-post once complete, and results..

It was porpoising with just me on boat and a full tank. IMHO the plate did look low in the water

I had this same issue with a 115 on my old boat(2019 Harris 21 foot). If you don't have an xl, you probably wont fix it. I ended up going to a 150 xl and it went away(had 115 on boat for all of 8 days before I couldn't take it anymore). Also the 115's have a notorious trim vs gouge issue...

Just bought a G23 with a Mercury 250XL Owner before me says that he experienced porpoising at WOT. He was correct.. Trim is at 2 when occurs. Motor is mounted on lowest position, highest hole.(meaning it has a lot of room to come higher out of water) My belief, and all that I read is that...

Again I'm new to the Bennington lingo. What's the difference between SPS and SPS+? Bennington literature was not very clear

Out of Curiosity? What is the max HP for your boat?

When they ordered the new sticker originally, they ordered it off the hull ID but maybe I should call..
