    Fitting a new prop to a Yamaha 200

    We have a 2024 R-23 and recently purchased a Sharrow prop in hopes of improving performance and fuel economy. I went to fit the new prop and found that it will not clear the anode (see pics). So, is it ok to trim the anode or should I replace with a flush version. I'm seeking input from Ranger...

    Inverter and Thruster Not Working on Ranger R-23

    I have a 2020 Ranger Tug R-23 and just did a battery turnover after one battery went bad with ozone release. Afterwards the inverter toggle switch won’t work and the thruster won’t turn on.

    No green light on shore power input.

    I've been trying to troubleshoot the AC panel on our (new to us) R-23 (FMLT2309F920). The shore power input breaker does not have a green led light, but seems to behave normally otherwise. The voltage is normal at the outlets (120) and the ground fault sensing module is happy (green light...

    R23 Dinghy Lift?

    I have a 2017 R23OB. I understand that there is no tilting dinghy rack for this model, but what about it doesn't fit the R23? Is it something I can modify on my end? I have metal fab capabilities, but I'm thinking it might be easier to start with the stock rack (perhaps the one for the R25?)...

    R23, how do you replace the windlass solenoid

    Hello, our windlass is no longer going up/down. We do hear it clicking. An electrician indicated that our solenoid needed to be replaced. We've found the solenoid attached to the front panel within the helm panel (assessible from the head). How do you access it to replace it. There isn't...

    Advice Wanted- planning to install the Garmin xHD Radar on my R23 next week. From what I understand, I will need to run the 2 wires through the mast base, remove the center ceiling decorative wood panel and then route the cables to the starboard mid cabin pillar where the porthole is. Remove...

    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...

    R23 Outboard Steering

    Hi, my buddy, who has a Grady White with a 250hp Yamaha, drove my R23 the other day. He says my motor doesn’t have the same range of motion as his does. In other words, at full port or starboard steering wheel lock his motor points further to port or starboard - which affects maneuverability -...

    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...
