    Looking for pontoon shrink wrap video

    Searched high and low for a video showing a pontoon being shrink wrapped but can't find one, just videos on bowriders and similar boats. Just got my first toon this year and I'm going to get all the supplies and do it myself. Does anyone have a link to a decent instructional?

    Seat cushion quality - Premier vs. others

    Premier pontoons use a nano block vinyl that's supposed to resist staining. It seems okay but it also seems that the quality of the stitching isn't up to par with the Bennington and Aqua Patio cushions that I've looked at.

    Bellows Replacement

    My Alpha 3.0 is 12 years old, and although the bellows all look fine I'm being told they should be replaced. How big of a job is this and how much should I expect to pay to have this work done?

    3.0LX starter questions

    Sorry my first post has to be thread-starter. I have a '97 Mercuiser 3.0LX, 135 HP, that seems to have a bad spot on the starter. Half the time I hear a click only, half the time it starts. Here are the questions I have: 1. Is this usually a starter problem, or could it be a solenoid? 2...
