BENTLEY Pontoon Owners - Replacement Parts Question

[DinoSteel]

First of all, Hello. I am newly registered on the site but have been LURKING for months. I am a owner of a new-to-me 2007 Bentley 200 cruise.

When I picked up the toon (I have not decided on the name as of yet) I noticed that the 90 degree corner metal protector was cracked. They glued it up with epoxy but after I took the toon out a few times I nailed the dock on departure and it went to its watery grave.

I have looked on the Internet for a replacement part and cannot seem to find it. I have also tried contacting Bentley and they have not returned my e-mail for assistance.

Where do you Bentley guys get replacement parts online? I have tried Overton's and have had no luck finding the piece I need. I do not have a Bentley dealer in San Antonio.

Any assistance you could provide in finding this part would be greatly appreciated.

I seen generic corner bumpers for toons at marinas and also online places like Overton's in both metal and rubber. Or some put metal on and then rubber to protect it.

Welcome and good luck in your hunt.

Probably need to get a dealer to order it. Really would not matter where the dealer is located if he has it drop shipped to your address. Here is something you might consider.

Probably best just to get a bentley dealer to order it. Oh I did find these at pontoonstuff

Probably need to get two so they matched an check what the radius on the bentley is.

I found the stock corners for my Harris were unubtanium so I used dock corners.

Thanks for your quick replies. I would like to stay with the OEM if at all possible.

BobL - Thanks for the TX Dealers - Most are closed on Monday, will try and order tomorrow.

dockholiday - thanks for the links!

GregF - unubtanium - NICE - New element to add to the table

The term was bouncing around the techy community for years, then James Cameron latched onto it in Avatar.
