    CO monitor alarm is super sensitive—help!

    The CO monitor alarm in my boat seems overly sensitive. It sounds when I am taking fuel and the Yamaha F300 engine has been off for a minute or two. In addition the alarm sounds (loud and distractingly obnoxious) when the boat is leaving the dock or taxiing slowly around the harbor—even with...

    2023 R27 300HP outboard Steering

    My 2023 R27 Steering slip a couple of times when turning either direction. I tried to locate my hydraulic fluid reservoir behind steering helm and under steering helm. Please pass on the location. I need to check the fluid level to eliminate why the steering slips while turning outboard.

    Attaching the Bimini 2023 R27

    I have the Bimini for the aft cockpit off for repair. Do you have any tips for reinstalling it easily (i.e. without trying to stretch it manually)? There appear to be small screws on some of frame parts. Are these to adjust tension in the frame? If so which ones do I adjust? Thanks in advance.

    Starboard port Trim

    The trim around my new to me 2024 R27OB is missing. (See attached) Can you tell me where I can find a replacement? It looks like it’s held in place by four screws. Is it also glued? Bonus points if you can tell me what kind of screws I need. Thanks! John

    House Battery Amp Hours

    My Victron battery monitor does not show 100% even when the shore power cable is plugged in and the solar panel is working. It tends to show 98.6% to 99.8% but never 100%. I'd like to check the settings on my Victron app to configure appropriately. Our 2024 R-27 has two Lithium batteries in...

    R27OB LE 2024 Main and Engine Batteries dead

    I managed to discharge both my main and engine batteries when I left both MAIN and PARALLEL switches ON, when on Shore Power, but didn't realize my Shore Power plug had become unplugged for an extended period. Both Main and Engine battery banks are too low to allow re-charging now that I've...

    Bottom Paint

    I recently bought a 2 year old R27OB and joined this group. Firstly thank you for the tug nuts hat! That was a pleasant surprise. As a new owner I’m probably going to have a lot of questions. Let’s start with this one. When I bought the boat it had bottom paint. I suspect that the paint...

    Winter storage questions

    1. Is it ok to store my 2025 R-27OB on the hard without a power connection here in the San Juan Islands? The yard disconnects the batteries for the winter leaving them in place and I'm just not sure if that is going to damage any of my batteries. 2. They also offer shrink wrapping. Given no...
