Login Support
Q: I forgot my password / need to change my password
A: Click the ‘forgot password’ link on the login screen and follow the steps. You will receive an email from [email protected] to complete your password reset. If you don’t receive the email, check your spam/junk folder!
Q: I’ve entered my correct email address and password and am still unable to get in.
A: Try resetting your password. If that doesn’t work, send us an email at [email protected], and include “Community Forum Login Support” in the subject line and we can troubleshoot further.
Q: I got an error message that says ‘Authentication Unsuccessful’
A: Sometimes our system unexpectedly glitches and this error message will appear. If you exit the site and come right back, you should be successfully logged in without error. We are constantly trying to improve this new technology to limit unexpected hiccups and appreciate you hanging in there with us!
Account Creation Support
Q: I got an error when I tried to create my account and could not complete the process.
A: Send us an email at [email protected], and include “Community Forum Account Creation Support” in the subject line so we can troubleshoot. Please include a screenshot of any error messages you receive.
Q: Once I completed the registration form, I received an error that I already had an account.
A: If you are a member of another Brunswick branded community forum, you can login with the same email/password combination. Click here to view all brands that Brunswick owns to check whether you might already have an account for another Brunswick forum. If you are still having trouble, send us an email at [email protected], and include “Community Forum Account Creation Support” in the subject line so we can troubleshoot.
Managing My Profile
Q: How do I set my profile picture?
A: Click on your name in the top right corner of the screen and navigate to ‘My profile.’ Once there, you can click the pencil icon next to the default silhouette picture and choose from some pre-loaded images or upload one of your own.
Q: How do I update my community preferences?
A: Click on your name in the top right corner of the screen and navigate to ‘My settings.’ From there, you can update everything within your community profile, such as display formats, email notifications and discussion board subscriptions.

Posting Tips & Tricks
Q: I just made a post, but I don’t see it?
A: Every post is submitted for review to a moderator before going live. The review process is completed during normal business hours, typically on the same day.
Q: Can I add attachments to my post?
A: Definitely! Show off your engine and boating adventures by including images and/or video (from a web link, like YouTube) to your conversations. You can even include up to 5 files.
Q: Why do I have to choose a label for my post, and what does it do?
A: Adding relevant labels to your posts allows other users to find information about topics and categories in quick, user-friendly ways. For example, if you’re starting a conversation in the Engines discussion board, select the label for the engine you are referencing. This will allow you and other users to see this post when searching for that same engine!
