Hey guys… relatively new to the forum here. We will be taking delivery of our first Bennington LX26FB w/ Merc 300v pontoon on April 16 and this will also be our first boat with an exposed prop.… as our previous boats have been jet boats.
We are extremely excited about the pontoon but the only thing that worries us is having an exposed prop and possibly damaging or hitting something as our body of water is relatively shallow. Most of the chain is less than 10 ft. I am not to concerned about some loss of top end speed as the 300 will move us just fine.
I was wondering if any of you have had either positive or negative experiences with any type of Prop guard/Hydro shield for your boats.
Any feedback you guys could give would be much appreciated. Thank you so much!
