Hey guys and gals! Just got my new to me Bennington. I received a lot of manuals and paperwork but, no operating manual. I did get a owners manual but, it was very basic stuff. I am hoping to get a in depth manual on features and layout, specifications, etc. Maybe contact dealership? I've googled it and only find what I've already got. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
 
Welcome aboard! What’s your specs?
How bout some pics!!
 
Welcome to the forum. You made a good decision by getting a Bennington. I don’t know of a detailed operating manuel. However, all of your questions can be answered by members of this forum. I would begin by reviewing previous posts. If you are new to boating take a Boaters safety course. What did you get?
 
Welcome to the party and there isn't a manual like you get with a car.
 
Welcome to the forum Lionel. Where do you boat and what did you buy???

I don't know what motor your pushing it with, but the kind of detail manuals that you want can be had for the motor. For example, you can go to Yamaha website and get the manual for yours.

Really more the pontoon, I think I have one on the motor. I just would like to know more about the console components, gauges, fuel capacity, maintenance, etc. I'm trying to balance reading paperwork I do have and getting her ready. I appreciate your help.
 
If you take the Hull id # and email Bennington, they can give you all the specs on your boat.
 
The owners guides are weak with these boats. I recommend spending some time on it as well, on the trailer and get familiar with the control locations (horn, lights, kill switch etc). Once you know where things are you are ready to get used to how it handles on the water.
 
Welcome and Congratulations! Your boat looks nice. Enjoy the boating season ahead.
 
Welcome and congrats on the boat. I can pretty much factually say that the people on these forums are some of the nicest, most helpful and knowledgeable boaters around. A great place to come with questions or to share your own experiences and help others.
 
Welcome to the club!! Saw the pic... boat looks great. Give us your questions and I’m sure somebody will chime in with a qualified answer. You bought the boat and cane to right place! :)

Usually the chain of lakes, Kissimmee, walk in the water but, usually lake Kissimmee FL. We got a 22' fsx 2013 but well kept.

Welcome to central Florida! We live in the Lake Wales area and frequent the other “Chain of Lakes.” We recently took delivery on a 22SSX. We are also new to Pontooning and are very happy with our purchase. Hope you enjoy you boating experience. BTW, I just learned an important lesson about boat ramps. DON’T BACK YOUR TRAILER PAST THE END OF THE RAMP! Long story, expensive lesson!

I already posted under Pontoon Forum thread. “Watch Out For Deep Holes...”. The short story is that we destroyed both fenders and bent the left side axle carriage. Hopefully we will get it back tomorrow.
