    ICW Gulf Coast

    I did the trip from Clearwater, Fl to Key West about a year ago. It's a wonderful trip. As others have mentioned, stop and enjoy the local fair. One of my favorite stops was Pelican bend at the Isle of Carpi in the Ft. Myers area. One thing you need to know is that there is a short cut that...

    TV antennas for boats- what works best?

    HI everyone. Has anyone found a TV antenna for your boat that works well? Also I would like to know which ones do not work. I've been trying to research this but I figure you guys who actually use them would know best. I have an R25 I'd like to use this on. Thanks everyone, Capn Russ

    diesel fill opening too small

    I went to get fuel today for the first time since I purchase the boat and the fuel nozzle would not go into the opening. I managed to wedge it in and pumped the fuel in very slowly. Finally got it full. Anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix for it that any of you have found? the guy...

    R-25 low rpm

    Yes the boat is kept in the water. The bottom is clean , the prop is not bent. I got in the water and cleaned the prop. So it's clean. It wasn't bad just a few small barnicles. No fuel additives have been used at least since I took delivery. I will check for excessive heat on the prop shaft...

    Stern Thruster quit

    Thanks for your help capt d. I took it out this past weekend and the autopilot worked just fine. before that I found a 7.5 amp fuse in the battery compartment that was blown and I replaced it. I don't know what it's for but that may have been what fixed the problem? I really don't know but...

    R-25 low rpm

    I went out this past weekend and could only get 3200 rpm out of the 125 hp Yanmar and my top speed is only about 9 knots. The Yanmar book says that engine should go to 3800 rpm. I know the fuel has been in the tank for a while and it could be that the fuel filter is getting plugged. It could...

    r-25 wiring

    Andrew, my hull no. is FMLT2506J607. Thank you Forgive me but just because no one else does it, it doesn't make it right. Many boats are so simple, all you have are light circuits. That's not the case with an R25. Do it right, don't let important things not get done because others don't...

    r-25 wiring

    Does anyone have any wiring diagrams for an r-25. I'm having thruster problems. Wiring for the reversing circuit on the thrusters would be a big help. Wiring and manuals for the whole boat would be great. Having to repair something on a year old boat every time I go out is bad enough but...

    Stern Thruster quit

    Yes there were some barnicles and I cleaned the units as good as I could. The prop on the thruster is free to turn by hand. The fuse is holding. I'm pretty sure the problem is in the thruster. Thanks for any and all help and suggestions.

    Stern Thruster quit

    Ok, I fixed the thruster fuse that was blown. Now the thruster clicks (solenoid clicks) that is but the thruster does not run. The fuse is holding but no thruster. I checked the voltage at the thruster and it only drops a few tenths from 13.3 to 13.1 volts. This boat is a 2007, I've owned it...

    Stern Thruster quit

    I have an R25 and this weekend the stern truster quit. It's not a shear pin, the motor doesn't run at all. The front one still works fine. I did find a blown 7.5 amp fuse blown in the battery compartment but I didn't have any replacements with me. I don't know if thats the problem or not but...
