New to me 2011 Sport/Air 200

[swatkinz]

I have a new to me Sport/Air 200 and have a few questions.

Which FCT would I have? Researching bimini options, but not sure which tower this is?
Hydrogate shifter is stiff. Is there a grease fitting or adjustment for this?
Are the ballasts pumps designed to pump out through the pick ups in the bottom of the hull or out the overflows in the side of the hull?
Boat has Nautique Cruise. Does both the Nautique Cruise and the dash speedometer use the same hull paddlewheel to measure speed? If so, they should be calibrated (read identically, correct?) Where/how is the water temp sensor (not engine water temp).
Ballast fill/drain toggles are positioned vertically. Indicator reads horizontally. Which toggle is port? Top or bottom?

Don't have all the answers for you as I just got my 11 Sport 200 the sept long weekend.

Tower is the FCT3. Look at the Sewlong product nice looking Bimini.

On the Hydrogate, there should be little plastic washers that sandwich the sliding plate. You will need to take out all the screws to slide the washers between the plates. I did see this summer on my buddy's Sport 200 that the sliding plate cracked, is was causing it to bind.

I am sure they pump out the bottom. The only time it pumps out the through hull fittings is when they are full. This indicate to turn off the pumps.

I think the Nautique cruise uses GPS for speed. I have never seen a Sport 200 with the analog gauges, not sure where these pick up from.

Water temp sensor I think is under the middle rear seat. Lift up the cover under the seat. Black and round, wires coming out of it.

Not sure on the toggle switches.
