I recently took delivery of my 2025 Bennington Swingback pontoon....love the boat...love the easy on/easy off fender system called the "Benny" quick latch kit, but I have already broken (2) since I took delivery....it's a great system but easy to break....I am wanting to order some additional kits but can't find a link or order site......any help would be greatly appreciated.....

Unless someone has some on ebay ,the only place you will be able to order them is a Bennington dealer. Except for coolers ,shirts, etc . Bennington does not sell directly to the public.

'Well David,
If you can't find what you're looking for, I might suggest these. They are stainless steel formed clips that spring clamp right onto your square tubing upper rails. As you can see in the pics, I've sewn some webbing to match the length needed for those fenders to sit in a specified height. But, also, you can see adjustable webbing clips in the middle of the webbing, to be able to adjust them if and when needed. So far, in the couple of years we've been using them, no adjustment has ever been necessary. When we approach a dock, the CEO opens a seat, grabs a couple of the fenders with webbing and rail clips already attached. Then, simply pushes them down onto the top rail in strategic spots, DONE!

When we're leaving the dock, she simply pulls up on them and they pop off and the fenders are placed inside the seats and out of sight. Just a suggestion. In one of the pics, you see actual rope attached to one of the fenders and clips. I'd since changed all the connections to webbing because it's easier to work with and adjust for length.

We’ve always like our Tayler Made plastic clips, that work like the Stainless Steel option above. Take them on and off as circumstances warrant. I like the Stainless Steel option for strength and durability, but I have a blackout package. So far, we have only had 1 Tayler Made clip fail in the 9 summers we’ve had our boat.
