Sheafer Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hello from AUS Have a 2023 RF21 And going by the owners manual i should have a fuel/water separator fitted to the inside of the aft rigging compartment? There is nothing there just the hose , Has the factory forgot to install my filter or is it hiding somewhere else Pic attached of the new beast Cheers Sheafer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 cheers mate I suggest you take some pics of the rigging box you are referring to? Hard to believe the filter is missing...MGB normally runs the boats in a tank for testing before shipping.... Doesn't make sense...normally its a Yamaha Big blue filter..I see you have a Zuke on the stern...where was the power installed? DC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheafer Posted October 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Hey DC the boat was shipped to me in AU with no engine ,Looking at the owners manual it says the filter should already be installed .I suspect it isn't though and i just want to make sure as id hate to fit another one for no reason Cheers Sheafer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I can't see anything on your post... Ok, different situation... Yes, you should have an in-line fuel canister.....the Zuke will have a fuel filter on the engine; however, you should install a pre-filter to capture water and other debris. There are several options 1.) Yamaha big blue 2.) RACOR filter with a canister and a plastic view filter Review the Zuke manual about how many gallon per hour it must filter...but, regular filters should be sufficient.

Fsu11 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 the picture you attached is typically what they look like, if you can take some pictures of your rear hatches and bilge hatch we can look but id imagine you would see what you're looking for if it had one.

Moderator Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 The factory may not hang filter setups on hulls sold without motors, so it can be rigged for the warranty on later choice. Also, there may be export or Oz requirements to be met for vapor or fire protection. And.. don’t be a stranger, Sheafer ! We wanna see pics of the outrageous fish you guys box up down there !
