    R25 Air Conditioning

    The easiest way to fix the problem is to purchase a roll of Gorilla Duct Tape. Gorilla Duct Tape is black in color, twice as heavy as regular duct tape, tenaciously sticks to just about any surface, and it does not deteriorate when it gets wet. Use the tape to connect and seal the AC outlet to...

    R25 Air Conditioning

    Ranger did not connect the cold air outlet on the AC unit to the louvered outlet that they installed. There is about a 1" air gap. This resulted in cold air being looped right back into the return air duct on the AC unit causing the cabin to be warm and the area under the AC seat nice and cool...

    R-25 overhead hatch riser arm

    The R-25 overhead hatch riser arm adjustment knob's stainless steel screw is cupped and as a result it chews up the soft aluminum rod in the riser arm. I ground down the end of the screw so it was flat and then beveled it slightly while polishing it on a 600 grit grinding wheel. Problem...

    3750 RPM 18 knots and about 7.5 GPH Full fuel, ½ water, some gear, 2 S.O.B. The best part, it is a very quiet engine. If you close the cabin door, it sounds like a sewing machine is powering the boat.....

    Ranger 25 130hp Cummins motor

    My Ranger 25 with a 150hp Cummins motor will cruise a 17 knots. Boat is sensitive to trim, bow up gets you more speed. Jeff might be able to give you a better idea as to what a 130HP will cruise.

    Very simple - WEIGHT.. Little Toot weighed in on the scales at 7,500#. (trailer not included) Full fuel, no water, and no gear. But, she has just about every option on the list. FYI - When Ranger was demonstrating the boat at Miami, she had 6+ S.O.B. and could not achieve the her...

    Tug Boat Whistle

    The larger Acme whistle sounds too much like a locomotive whistle. Steam tug boat whistles used a higher pitch as they were the main source of communication between one another while pulling or pushing a ship. "Little Toot" was the title of a book published in 1939, written and illustrated by...

    Ranger 25'/Dealer

    Long ago I made the mistake of purchasing a new aircraft with a low serial number. The F.A.A. issued several costly Air Worthiness Directives for the early production planes. I think the same somewhat holds true for boats. Let the dust settle a bit, so the manufacturer can make the necessary...
