Re: R30 Leans to the Starboard side

There is storage in front of the helm, do you have anything heavy in there?

Re: Changing your New Generation VP impeller

I bought the same tool, replaced my volvo impeller with it, super easy! Took at most 20 minutes, a bunch of that was taking my time making sure everything was aligned to install the new impeller.

Re: R30 Joystick add-on

I have an R30 without the joystick. While I thought it would be a huge loss (I test drove a couple that had them), once I got used to driving twins I can park the boat in pretty much any location. Being able to spin completely around in it's own length is pretty awesome! I imagine it will be 15-20K ...

Re: April 2020 Pics

We've been out on the water the last two days taking advantage of the 65-70 degrees days here in Seattle. It's the best way to practice social distancing!

Re: 2017 R7 battery replacement

I purchased new batteries for my R30 from West Marine. They usually have a pretty good sale around April (I got 3 price adjustments in the 30 days I purchased them since they continued to have weekend sales - also got triple points). The only issue is they have pretty short warranties - 18 months co...

Re: R30 with 430HP Engines

I have the dual VP 300s it's plenty fast for me (~53MPH with 13 adults onboard).

Re: New rockford fosgate problems

I had a similar error with our RF headunit where it would output sound for 30-50 minutes and then go quiet. We'd power off the headunit for ~20 minutes and it would work again for another 30-50 minutes. (Lights on the AMP were still on, headunit was response, just no sound output). It's been at the ...

We use the A3 on our R30 in the locks, never any issues with the boat touching the wall.

Re: Let's post up September 2019 Pics.

I've been in Manhattan this week for work and yesterday afternoon I took advantage of a break to visit the 9/11 Memorial. I still remember this day like yesterday, where I was when the towers were struck and watching them fall. In the late 90s I worked in one of them for a time and have pictures at ...

some pix of the resort. Interestingly we stayed in the "John Wayne Suite" which had some cool pictures of John Wayne when he would stay at the resort. Theodore Roosevelt stayed in the resort twice during his presidency. His signature is in the guest book. IMG_3223.jpeg IMG_3225.jpeg IMG_32...
