Just some guy
Hey everyone, I have a question (surprise surprise!) our dealer asked us to take a couple for a ride in our Bennington the other day, they are interested in one and were unsure about making the 3.5 hour trip to just see if they even liked the Bennie's, we'll I'm happy to report I think they did. Great couple, and as they were talking to my wife they brought up a concern for them boating. You see their daughter is deaf and they worry about her swimming around and not knowing that the engine has started. Which I believe is a very understandable concern. So my thought came to what about having a light, or even let's say 3 lights, all on the back of the rear deck, even like the little amber lights used for marker lights on trailers, and have them hooked to the ignition so that when the motor is on they light up, thus being a clear indicator to be careful. I thought about red lights, but who knows if the boat police would see a problem because of navigation laws, but I wonder about amber lights? Also would you just hook it into whenever the key is in the ON position, or go all out and figure out a way to have them turn on only when prop is engaged? The ON scenario I believe definitely seems easier. What are your thoughts? This has nothing to do with me, I don't even know if they will buy a Bennington, but I like to try to solve problems, even before or without having being asked too!! Haha who knows, maybe it will help someone else.
