    Updated Thru-Hull for AC Pump Discharge

    I noticed on the new 2026 model R23/25/27, the AC Thru-Hull is different. It has a 90 elbow discharge. Now allows the water to come out and down and to a 45 aft. This is something I'm interested in converting my 2020 R23 discharge. Can't seem to find a part number. Did send a picture to the...

    Kicker fuel line

    I’m having a Yamaha T 9.9 kicker installed on my 2019 R23 at my local Yamaha dealer. I’m wondering if you can provide details on running the fuel line from the installed fuel tank through the transom, to the motor. Thanks, Mike Rolnick 9407581171

    R23 Outboard Steering

    Kicker

    I own a 2019 R-23OB. I want to put a kicker on it. It has the installed motor mount on the swim platform. I’m not sure of the references for measuring shaft lengths. Will a Yamaha 15hp long shaft (20”) work, or do I need a 25” shaft. I ask because a local dealer has a new 2021 model that they...

    Kickers

    I have a 2019 R-23 OB and want to put a kicker on it. The boat already has the bracket on the swim platform. I found a smoking good deal on a brand new 2021 Yamaha 15hp, but it is a long shaft (20" I think). Just checking with others that have experience with kickers regarding shaft length, and...
