    R27 Cleats - Steel backed? (Rough mooring)

    Are the cleats on the 2021 R27 backed with a steel plate? My club requires this as storms and storm surge here can cause a lot of strain on the cleats. I am rigged to the dock with steel springs and pulleys. Do I need to take apart the boat or am I fine?

    R27 NW (2023) USB power outlets not working

    The USB outlets located on the port side and in the V-berth of my vessel are not providing a charge. Both appear "lit" in blue. Is there a common fuse I should check or do you have any other suggestions? The USB outlet at the helm is working normally. Thanks in advance.

    "Vinylester Barrier Coat" question

    My past experience in boating has left me familiar with epoxy barrier coating. Will the "vinylester barrier coat" that the boat is built with do the same thing regarding preventing osmosis/blisters? For context, my boat is in a freshwater slip and only gets some algae growth. I can not justify...

    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...

    Sliding window fell out on our 2022 R-27

    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.

    I recent damaged one of my decorative (diagonal) glass windows on my 2021 R-27LE boat. I need to replace it. Does the factory offer replacement glass or do I need to have a local glass company make one? Thanks!

    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?
