32 Bennington Owner’s Manual
The pump works best when the boat is at rest or moving at a very slow speed in the water. At faster
speeds, the pump does not work properly because it cannot draw water.
The stand pipe/overfl ow tube keeps your livewell tank from overfl owing with water. It provides the
maximum water level available for the livewell tank. As water enters and fi lls up the tank, the stand
pipe allows the extra water to drain out below the deck of the boat back into the lake, river, etc..
Stand pipes can be cut down if lower water levels are desired. Consult your dealer for additional
information.
Fresh Water System:
Bennington provides an optional fresh water system for select models. This manually pressurized
system provides fresh water from a tank that is located below the sink. To operate this system,
push the manual pump mounted by the sink. This will allow the fresh water to fl ow from the water
tank below up through the hose and into the sink for use. It is important to fi ll the tank with fresh
water only. Refi ll the tank frequently to keep the water fresh. Keep the tank empty during freezing
weather. Please contact your dealer before adding a fresh water system to your boat.
Bimini Top Canvas:
The bimini top canvas is provided as a standard feature for most Bennington boats. Please refer to
the “Caring For Your Bennington” section of this manual for recommended maintenance and care
information.
Bennington offers different sizes of bimini canvas depending on the model of your boat. Some bi-
mini canvas is optional and at times it is unavailable for some models. Please note below installation
instructions for the bimini canvas Bennington offers. Please use the correct instructions based on the
model of boat you own.
Trolling Motor:
A trolling motor can be used as optional equipment on select Bennington models. Please contact
your dealer for a recommended trolling motor for your boat. You will need to have a “Trolling Mo-
tor Gate” in order to use a trolling motor on the bow of your pontoon. These gates can be purchased
through your Bennington dealer and are designed to color match your pontoon. You can also
purchase a trolling motor harness for your boat if your boat is not already equipped with one from
the factory.
Please contact your dealer to purchase and install the recommended trolling motor harness.

Fuel System:
Gasoline is very volatile! Never have the engine running when refueling. Do not smoke or have
any open fl ame near the fuel tank, vent or fi ll. Be cautious while fueling during hot weather, because
heat expands gasoline causing pressure to build in portable fuel tanks. Never fi ll portable tanks to
capacity because expansion can cause fuel leakage.
! DANGER !
It is possible for objects and small children to roll off of the platform
underneath the Trolling Motor Gate and off of the boat.
