    Covers/Plugs for cup holders?

    Whenever I use my pontoon the 12 cup holders are always dirty, so I clean the insides. I was wondering if anyone has come up with a good idea to cover or plug them up with something until they were ready to be used? Tom

    Unknown symbol showing up on tach

    I have a 2006 Bennington, 2075 pontoon, with a 75 HP Yamaha O/B. Last time I had it out, an unknown symbol appeared on the tach gage. It was to the far left and looks like an hour glass, the thing you have sand in and turn upside down to time something. At first I thought it was either the...

    Have a water pump question for a 75 hp O/B Yamaha

    I just started my 75 HP, 4 stroke, o/b 2005 Yamaha on my pontoon boat. It sits for months at a time. It fired right up. After a minute or so I looked at the engine to see if there was water spouting out. There wasn't any, so I shut it off. I then hooked up my hose to the flush out port and...

    Any tricks to keep mud daubers from nesting under bimini cover?

    It's been about 2 months since I put the Bimini top up. When I took the cover off the Bimini top there were about a dozen mud dauber nests attached to the Bimini top. A lot of the stuff fell onto the seats and carpet as I removed the cover. I keep my boat on a lift in SW Florida. I figure this...

    Do they make a brace/nesting block to store the bimini top in the full down position?

    I store my pontoon on a covered lift. In order to raise the boat as high as possible, up under the cover, for maximum protection, I put the bimini top completely down. It ends up resting on the sundeck. I'm afraid this will cause staining or mildew to the sundeck upholstery, so I wedge hard...

    What is the normal waterline level on the pontoons?

    I have a 2005, 20' Bennington, with a 75 hp Yamaha. It has the sundeck with pop up changing room, 26 gal fuel tank and a 10 gallon (guessing) fresh water tank. I'm new to pontoon boats and was wondering what the normal waterline level is on most pontoons? Without passengers aboard, at the aft...

    Leaving smart charger hooked up?

    I would like to leave a smart charger hooked to my battery when the boat is up out of the water, on the boat lift. My boat is used in salt water and my canal is brackish water. I recall reading somewhere that you shouldn't charge the battery while it is still on a pontoon boat, that is used in...

    Moving mud from under boat lift?

    I live in SW Florida, where the water level is fairly shallow, especially under my boat lift, in my canal. I was thinking of renting some type of pump where I could pull water from the canal and have enough water pressure at the other end to push mud out from under my boat lift. I only need to...
