R-23 questions

[Capt’nKarl]

We recently upgraded to a 2018 R-23. While performing the marine survey we could not find the AC air intake or how to access the AC to change the filter. Additionally, there was a “DOCK LIGHTS”switch located at the helm but it didn’t seem to do anything. Anyone have any answers?
Thanks

Can't help with the AC questions as we don't need it up here ;-) but our 23 doesn't have dock lights and still has the switch. I believe that Fluid Motion orders the switch panel for all of their boats standard and simply doesn't hook up the unused switches.

I have a CW-24 2020, is inside like the RT-23 and don't have air intake for the A/C. The same with the dock lights. But I enjoy my boat.

I don't believe there is an air filter for the A/C. The A/C unit itself is located under the port forward seat. You will need to remove the side screws that hold the seat down and the seat lifts forward on the hinges. Cheers! -Norm

The sea water intake for the AC is located in the cockpit center storage. You should be able to find the owners manual in Tugnuts attachments.

Actually, there is an air filter on my 2020 R-23. I pulled the seat up today and found that there is a thin nylon mesh air filter in front of the air intake. I would attach a picture but seems my account does not have permission to attach files. Cheers. -Norm
