I'm picking up my 2022 Bennington from the shop tomorrow after I had them do what I call my Spring/Summer tune up.

I have all of the lubricants, filters, spark plugs, gaskets and zincs replaced as well as I had them replace both of my batteries this time too. They also greased the hubs on the trailer and made sure all of my lights are in working order and topped the air off in the tires.

This Saturday March 1st we are back on the water....winter is over and it's time to have fun again.

I hope all of us Bennington owners have a great boating season and a safe one....see you out there.

Unfortunately mines still in storage. The pic is from a local bar on the Crooked River ,the group goes out every New years day. The river doesn't freeze.

Hope you and your family have a great season! Where do you boat? What kind of batteries do you have on the boat?!? Did you have them tested? I've had batteries last 10 yrs. and some last 4 yrs. They can be finicky!
 
Jeff , Bennington is Polaris. Lol

Thank you Kahuna....

We boat in a few spots in the Jacksonville, Florida area. We cruise the St. John's River and there are a few creeks off of it that we like such as Black Creek and Julington Creek. We also cruise on a large lake between Gainesville and Jacksonville named Lake Santa Fe.

If we have guest with us we take them into Peter's Creek in Green Cove Springs, Fl and show them the dock where a lot of Lynyrd Skynyrd's biggest songs were written back in the early 70's.

I've yet to put it into salt water but we are planning to take it to St. Augustine later this year and stay down there for a few days.

My batteries didn't test out the best so I made the decision to replace both of them this year....the old ones were the original ones from 2022.
I'm not sure of the brand they replaced them with as they are in battery boxes. I will look at them when we go out on Saturday.

I hope you and your family also have a great boating season.

Oh, I know. Just never a Polaris snowmobile.

I need my Ski Doo GT comfort for what little riding my back and hip might allow out on the lake these days. :)
