It’s my inaugural year of owning this 2018RTCB. Completed fluids maintenance on generator and engine. Live in southern Chesapeake Bay, question: how often to freshwater flush the D4,generator and where to buy /size flush caps for intake or dyi adapter. Thanks in advance. Ken - Folie á Deux
Pre purchase research: I previously posted question on biminis for 2018 29 ft RTCB . Thank you Shane, who had outfitted with a 4 bow - 84” . My canvas guy ask about ‘ moment arm’ problems with either the 4 bows or 3 bows . Essentially the effect of the the top heavy Bimini on stability of boat...

Have seen some YouTube on replacing zinc on D4-260 engine …is this the same on D4 300I ? If so how often and where … did not see this mentioned in 200 hr service or manual? Just finished my inaugural oil/ fuel and air filters changes on 2018 29RTCB D4-300 and next gen UMC-1 3.5( and changed...
Hello all. 2018RT CB - new owner - completed my first oil/ filter change on D4 3000. Also primary and secondary fuel filters . Problem water sensor on secondary doesn’t snug fit and I get leakage from drain plug ? Can it be fixed with teflon tape ? I didn’t see any O rings when replacing the...

I was checking out the propane locker on our 2025 r-29 CB because it seemed as though we weren't getting full flow. I discovered three things I wanted to change. It did look like the hose coming from the locker was somewhat pinched and crimped, there was water in the locker causing rust...
The helm station seat on the command bridge of my 2025 R29 CB will slide fore and aft no problem BUT it doesnt seem to "lock" down. The backrest will flip or flop just by pushing on it. Is this normal or am I missing something? It seems as though it should be able to lock into face forward or...
The Zest microwave oven on our 2025 R29 CB will not unlock after cooking. All troubleshooting points to a faulty board. Is there a fix I'm missing? Thanks.
The head odor is out of control on my R 29 and I understand that the best way to fix it is to replace the head hoses. Because the boat is on a charter program, I'm going to be required to do it anyway. I have a maintenance pro lined up to do the job, but in my never-ending quest to save money by...
We need to know what the replacement tecma toilet would be for a 2019 R29. Ours leaks around the bottom. Please give us model number and where we might be able to purchase one. Thanks - Rich Birkemeier
I have an R29, 2012 model year with the 6BY260 engine. I think I have a water leak in the CAC Pipe under the engine. I suspect it is a hose clamp, but I can not figure out how to get to the the clamps to tighten them. Any ideas?
My 6yo inverter charger is on the fritz. Saw an E03 error ("AC output is overloaded or short circuited and unit has shutdown") while plugged into shore power and nothing in use on the boat. Off and then On resolved that. But I have also been seeing R2.0 with unrecoverable shutdowns.
I'm...
How much power goes to the TV antenna (or can be run through that existing cable) on a 2019 R-29 CB? I'm thinking of pulling off the antenna, which I never use, and replacing it with a Starlink Mini. I'd very much like to modify the existing cable to power the Mini if that's possible.
I'm prepping for a cruise to Alaska next year and had to get a Starlink. I just ordered a Mini from West Marine; they're having a sale for $299 through Memorial Day, which is a pretty good deal.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had put a Mini up where the (mostly useless) TV antenna is on the...

2019 RT-31CB LE.
I have a slow leak (getting slightly faster) around the sonar transducer.
Is there any way to tempoarily seal it while in the water I presume I have to haul out and re-seal it. Any advise on how ro do it, or what not to do.
Thanks
Our Johnson pump bilge high water alert started alarming this week. We've checked the boat and there is no water accumulating in the bilge. We then disconnected the Johnson control panel from the battery and the alarm stayed off for the rest of the day. Fast forward one day and the alarm is back...
