Q1: is [the bow stop assembly shown in Figure 1] okay [to use with a Boston Whaler boat]? 22898175-bdad-4171-9a2e-49db97b5ef62.jpeg I bought a local Croatian brand (Berkinovac) boat trailer that is a bunk-type per a Boston Whaler recommendation. The bow [stop] assembly has given away and the manufac...
[Reviving his thread after almost one year being dormant]
The scuppers [on the 2006 210 VENTURA boat that is the topic of this thread] were replaced in 2025. For our mechanic the replacement of the scuppers was not a difficult job.
Hi Jim, Thanks for posting. I was able to seal the hole using below the line silicone sealant to prevent ingress as a short stop gap measure. Prior to launching next season, I will get the replacement scupper where the broken part is located. Here is the part - as you see the screws are not to screw...
Figures 1 and 2 show a broken scupper valve from my 2006 210 VENTURA. scupperValve.jpg hull.jpg Q1: how serious a threat to the hull foam is a broken scupper on a 2006 210 VENTURA? Q2: is continued use of the boat for a couple more weeks okay? I don't want to cause permanent damage to the boat, but ...
Hi, We imported a 2006 Ventura 210 to Croatia back in 2011. The boat was registered and passed a technical inspection at the local port authority, however since Croatia joined the EU the technical criteria have changed. Upon the recent inspection it was noted that our Ventura is lacking a fire port....
Thanks Jim for taking your time to provide a detailed explanation, it is very helpful. The boat has two batteries which are in good condition (load tested by the mechanic) however we have an problem starting the engine when the switch is on 2 (versus on 1). Electrics run fine off the second battery ...
Q4: are there any warehouses that may have remaining stock that are worth checking? I have used Newwiremarine they were excellent for another panel and Flounder Pounder offer a replica but it is not exactly like OEM. [The need to purchase of a replacement electrical panel] is not urgent. [The defect...
My mechanic informs me my 210 VENTURA battery switch, PERKO model 8501 needs replacing. Sue Lodel recommended Model 8503 as the replacement for the 8501. I understand that the difference is that the 8503 has the alternator field disconnect. Q1: Is it worth paying extra for the 8503 (its cost about d...
I believe the answer to your inquiry is already given above: Contact Sue at Beacon Marine. I have contacted Sue. There are no Viking T-Bar replacements or covers. You need to replace the whole mechanism not just the cover which makes the job not worthwhile given the way its adhered to the bottom. I...
The boat is abroad so I do not have access to the measurements to recreate. I called Boston Whaler and Ultra Panel. Neither have a [diagram of the panel layout]. I need the panel layout. [Somewhere the following numbers and letter are presumed to appear] 1453174 PANEL, BW210VT-01 SWITCH RAW/FRESH WA...
Hi, I am looking for a replacement quick release pin for the ski pylon for our Ventura 210. I e-mailed Sue Lodel and she says the replacement is $80. This is the 1 1/4 inch Quick Release Pin that locks the pylon. It is something like this: https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/3297268 Does anyon...

My parents are getting old. Where they boat in Croatia the anchor almost gets daily usage. The Ventura 210 did not come with an option for an actor windlass option.
Thank you. I emailed Sue at Twin City and also emailed Boston Whaler at their general email address. I replaced the 15A fuse with another ETA one--not exact but it works. To replace it we got the push button boot off but when i pit it back on it does not stick. How can I make it stick again? Now tha...
I have 2006 Ventura 210. One of the 15-Amperes circuit switches for the live well pump needs to be replaced: what is the part number? Also the panel that says Livewell and Raw Water pump has cracked: tell me where I can find a replacement. I checked the schematic on WHALER.COM, but I had a hard time...
Hi. I plan to add a two-bank battery charger to our Ventura 210. The rationale for this is we usually end up running for short runs insufficient to have the batteries fully charged. While operating a new entertainment loudspeaker amplifier and other electronics running at anchor we end up running th...
Hi, I am looking to get a JL Marine M10IB5-SG-WH infinite baffle subwoofer and am wondering where is the best place to mount it on my 06 210 Ventura boat. I found the following picture from another Ventura with a fusion amp installed from the front right cubboard. Please let me know if this install ...
Hi. I have a 2006 Boston Whaler 210 Ventura. The buttons and clips on our vinyl cushions have come apart. We have the replacement buttons from Boston Whaler, but need a stapler of sorts to get them attached again. Can we buy such a device?
Hi, We just commissioned our 210 Ventura for the season and the freshwater shower is not working even when the switch is depressed and light is on. Any clues? Thanks
Hi. I want to purchase a Yeti or RTIC-style cooler for a Ventura 210. I am debating if I should get a 20- quart or 45-quart version. Unlike center console boats, a 210 Ventura does not have a natural space to store a cooler. A cooler would be put inside the Port bulkhead cabin. Is there sufficient s...
Thanks for the head up on NMEA and Smartcraft. I am in touch with Andy from Veradoclub parts; I need a NMEA-2000 gateway, then another part to form the NMEA network - all of this will cost $500 just to get data into the Garmin. I recently disocvered Vesselview mobile - which can push engine data ont...
I am looking at Echomap 92sv and GPSMAP 722. Would like 722 as it [has] a nicer screen. However not sure [722] will cover the existing flush mount. Garmin 498 cutout dimensions - 141 x 110mm GPSMap 722 cutout dimensions - 132.5 x 214mm I can get the whole KING StarBoard panel re-made, but that’s add...
Hi. I plan to replace my venerable Garmin 498 fish finder on our Ventura 210. Like the boat, the Garmin is 2006 vintage and it [is] starting to show signs of age. At first the transducer stopped showing correct depth, and the last few years it had trouble acquiring satellites. I can try to update it...
Hi, Happy New Year. We plan to start replacing some vinyl on our 2006 Boston Whaler Ventura 210 as it is starting to discolor. We also have pink stains that appear an ddisappear on some of the cushions. As some of the items are discontinued--I checked with Sue at Twin Cities andit is prohibitive to ...
Thanks all. 1. We removed the porta porti without any major difficulties just unscrewed the unit and pipes. There were 2 pipes in the back , one was going to the waste out which is on the port side of the boat. Not sure if our boat had overboard discharge - if it did it would be great as this would ...
Thanks both for your feedback. If you have a picture of the hinge it would be great so we can discuss with our metal guy in Croatia to see what is possible.
When I remove the toilet do any of the wires/plumbing need to be severed?
Hi, We had our 2006 BW Ventura 210 in Croatia for about 7 years, it's been great but we are looking to make a handful of modifications to better adjust it to our needs here. 1. Bow Rail - currently the stainless steel bow rail goes across the bow making it difficult to access without jumping over wh...
Hi. On our 2006 Boston Whaler Ventura 210, the footing of watertight storage compartment on the port side (where the toilet is) has started to take in water from the front compartment. This is due to the base in which the screws are tied in cannot hold the screws anymore (please see pictures). Is th...
