2018 Bennington SX22 Pontoon Structure/Owner's Manual

[Susy Yeatman]

Any idea where I can access an owners manual for this year? I have a pontoon (and I love it), not a tri-toon. I have been purging paperwork and SOMEHOW misplaced ALL the boat paperwork, even the purchase documents! I'm in need of an owners manual AND have a question. Moving the boat yesterday, we noticed the left pontoon has water sloshing around; are the pontoon chambers "sealed" or do they communicate? I've been told to look to see if they have a vent on top, and to check all the seams for leakage. Any other words of wisdom as to how this can be addressed would be most appreciated!

In my opinion, the Bennington manual is not worth much and seemed very generic. I believe the toons have chambers. You might have a warranty claim unless the leak was caused by some type of damage. I would check with a dealer, especially if you are the original owner.

Each pontoon has three chambers. They do not communicate. If original owner, and you didn’t hit anything, it is under warranty, so it would be worth having an authorized dealership look at it. If it’s a bad weld, or something of a manufacturing nature, it would fall under that for repair. We had some bad welds along the port pontoon and our performance foils that got repaired under warranty.

If not under warranty, typically a quality aluminum welder can repair them for a reasonable price.
