So it was the spark plugs for me. Finally decided to change them out myself and that did the trick. Ran it tonight and it was great. Looking forward to summer!! Well except for my torn apart laundry room that I need to rebuild. But whatever, we’ll have great evenings on the boat each...

No not yet, Waiting on a mechanic now.

Thanks for this. I didn’t think about trying a separate fuel source. Way too much common sense for me!! Filters are good, I did take it out again with no surge, but limited RPM and an odd noise. Prop looks fine. I do have a mechanic friend coming over, as changing the filters and other...

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll check that out.

So I did replace the water separator fuel filter. That one looked like changing like oil filter, which it was, so easy enough. No difference. I did take the boat out again, and no surge, but it would not go over 4500 RPM. It got to 4500 RPM quick enough (about a third of the full distance of...

Thanks. I’ll run it with cap off. The other suggestions, I’m not quite confident in my ability not to screw things up, but I can probably phone a friend. Thanks!

Thanks for that. I did add some seafoam with a couple gallons of gas before the hour and a half running. I might try the spark plugs next. Thanks.

Gasoline from last days last year with stabilizer. My same routine each year. It should have been good.

Hey All… I have a Yamaha 115 VMax, on a 2019 Bennington. Loved the engine until I just dropped it in the water and coming home the engine was running a bit rough, and accelerating and decelerating on its own. I was scared to death as I brought it into my hoist, but it was relatively calm and...

Thanks to both of you. Mine is a 2019, SX, so basic model. I assumed it was just standard vinyl so glad I asked.

Do all Benningtons built after 2017 have Simtex fabric, or is that an upgrade?

I hate to say it but Michigan State is looking ugly (I mean really Ugly). I had early in the year high hopes but it‘s sad and they will get crushed in their next 3 games. Pretty scary line up Coming. It’s not only the injuries but poor coaching. Time to dispense of secondary coachs and line...

yes, I’ve also have one for my four Winns for 10 years now and love em (Got the pontoon in late 18). Up and down in about 10 seconds, and with remote, sit in the chair and and watch it go! remote makes life easier too if you need to raise or lower while at the bow or stern. As my neighbor...

i use this set up for my lift canopy and it works great (for 10 years now on another boat, and now pontoon). First year of the first boat the top of the canopy ended the year white. Not much since (an occasional fly by bombing). Aluminum poles with fishing line (50 pound test lately) between...

will be a perfect day for being out there today! I’ve got a bathroom remodel going on, so am anchored around here. Have fun!
