Re: Access to blackwater tank and seacock

Admin,

Could you please bump this to the R-Series thread so maybe someone sees it?

Funny that across most of the USA people are 'winterizing' their boats right now where as we are finally getting to use them here in the UAE without burning our feet on the carpets or burning our armpits on the ...

Re: R 30 Fusion WB 670 (white box) location

Just closing out this thread with some info incase anyone else has similar issues. Mine is slightly older and has the Rockford Fosgate system but the setup appears the same. The main 'head' unit is located in the head... hidden right under the step down. I always wondered why they put a radio unit ...

Re: Tonneau Cover Snaps Breaking

I had the same problem. I bought a snap fix replacement kit off Amazon. Its a really easy job. I changed about 20 fasteners. These particular ones aren't quite Cobalt quality but they definitely do the job. If the cover fits well the whole boat doesn't get covered in sand and dust so it is well ...

Re: How to remove fwd props?

This is from my R30 transom manual but I am sure the mechanism is the same...

FYI you can actually download all of the workshop manuals from the Volvo Penta website for free. First time I have seen that and they are *really* useful.

Good luck with your props Fella.

R-30 in Dubai

Hi guys, first time boat owner here and I picked up a 2017 R-30 a few months back. Looks like the previous owner didn't own a toolkit, so I have a few projects to do that I may need some advice on. :)

So far though, it has been absolutely awesome fun to own and tinker with. It's been impeccably ...
