Yep - the older version has that

Yes I sent an email explaining that without them adding this part, I was permanently locked out of sport mode on my new engine, so they agreed to have the dealer order the part and install it

Okay figured it out and it's related to the newest Simrad NSX unit/software. There is no longer a "Vessel Control" in the newer streamlined version. Did some deep AI research to find out that with the new set-up, my Simrad is reading the engine data but can't send commands back to the engine...

Yes all the screen shots above are from those menus

Clicked every button – nothing!

Yes I think the issue is I don't have "Vessel Control" loaded in the Simrad. Tried to download the Mercury VesselView app and connect it to the Simrad but couldn't get it to work either. I'll see again on the boat this afternoon...

Anyone had luck finding where you can toggle to Sport Mode on the Verado in your Simrad? I've tried everything I've seen online and every drill-down on the menus but cannot locate it...

Thanks for the recco, Jack! I didn't even know that was a thing for stainless steel. I did that and am pretty happy w/how they turned out. Posted the pics in a different thread in case other QX/RX owners with this type of rail are looking for solutions other than Bennington's plastic...

Hey guys - I didn't want to go with the Bennington option given reports of them breaking easy, so I went with these instead. Several folks talked about the "EXfender" - which I liked as well, but I went with these which are (a) a little lower profile without the ring in, and (b) I wanted...

babcock - I think that was just the silver ones; they are still selling the black ones. I emailed them a question yesterday on dimensions and they responded.

hmmm, interesting... I didn't even realize you could take stainless steel and powder coat it. Not sure what type of a local metal shop would take on something this small though (like 4-6 of these). I like the EZ Fender option above okay (since they have black), but these ones above look more...

Also found this a potential solution - just wish it cam in black to match the rail

Thanks, Jack. Yep I saw those above and they look very functional, but not sure I want something that tall fixed onto the QX rail permanently. Maybe though - just not yet sure. If possible, I’d prefer something like Fire Up’s suggestion above that looks like it just clamps on and can be...

I really like Fire Up's solution but not sure that type of a bracket would work on the QX with the different type of handrail (?), plus, like Vikingstaff I have the blackout package so would want something that matches if possible. I had ordered the Quick Fender Latch Kit with the boat build...

Took exactly 4 months from the order date to delivery, so we were super excited to end the wait and get this beauty. I want to sincerely thank everyone for all the advice on this forum! I started researching QXs in June of last year and you guys have been the best. Oh and whomever provided a...
