    Underwater lights shorting out on R27

    I just replaced the fuse last week for my underwater lights on my R27 to get them working. Turned them on last night and they shorted out immediately. Is this a common issue, anything I may be doing to cause it?

    R27 OB head faucet

    I have a 2023 R27 OB and I may need to replace the cartridge for the head sink faucet. While the faucet looks like a Grohe Essence single hole single hand S-size (23592ENA), it does not have any branding logo or markings. Would you be able to provide or verify the make and model of the head...

    Rear window bug screens R27 OB?

    Has anyone made bug screen for the rear opening window on a 2023 R27 OB? It seems simple enough until I try to deal with the interference from window lift struts and their brackets and that has got me stumped. I want to open the rear window for ventilation here in the steamy South but without...

    Yesterday, while cruising just above idle, we heard a thunk just outside our open starboard window. When we pulled up to the dock we found that the window had fallen out. It turns out that the frame has become detached from the fixed part of the window and the weight of the open window allowed...

    anchor light

    As part of my prep for the boating season, I swapped out my running lights and anchor light with LED bulbs. The new running lights work fine. Unfortunately the anchor light is inop. No matter how much I try to ensure both ends of the bulb make good contact with the fixture, it doesn't light up...

    New Yamaha F350

    I’m taking delivery of a new 2025 R-27. I’m trying to purchase the 20hr service kit for the Yamaha 350 in advance. None of the parts websites list the new motor. Does it use the same parts as the F300 for this service?

    Fresh Water Head Conversion

    Hi. I want to convert my head in my R27 OB to a fresh water flush and was looking for options. Would it be an easy option to close the raw water valve and disconnect the hose where it connects to the strainer and re-route that hose to a T connector that I would add to the fresh water line that...

    Sun visor fastener failures

    The two inboard screws securing the sun visor have failed. One stripped out, the other sheared off about 3/8” from screw head. I suspect this is cyclic fatigue induced from wind buffeting while towing at highway speeds but that’s just a guess. Anyone else run into this? Repair...
