Don, Noticed in your album that your boat is in a bunk type dock in the water. I am considering one for my covered slip in the Tenn. river. What do you think of it and do you have any info. on use in fresh water? Ron

Don, It is a great area and we have built the 5th. home in the subdivision of 28 lots on the river. Come on over and we will start a C-Brat community. Some beautiful condos in the subdivision also. Go to the attached site to see the area layout. My home is on the lot with the short day pier on...

Larry, Not sure on the phone service for Sprint and Verison since I have always been with AT&T (and other buy outs) since in the 80's. Had service on most of the river. Some areas between the hills it was bad. With the towns along the way it probably will not be a problem. Good luck and you will...

Larry and Jo, This will be lenghty for a one fingered typest. You are headed for a beautiful river cruise. heading downstream from Chattanooga about daymark451.8 you enter prettiest part of river. It turns back on itself a dozen times through the mountains. Here is an area with the widest range...

Lyle, While in lower Louisiana, you may want to travel inland up through Houma, Morgan City, Jeanerette, New Iberia, and Lafayette, to look at the Cajun way of life. A number of the small towns usually have Cajun festivals during Sept. and that provides good food and Cajun dancing. Airboating...

Andrew, My response may not totally apply since my tug is a 2006 21 just prior to the EC and I have the 20 HP instead of the 30 HP. Being in Florida my engine box is probably as hot as they get. Opening it while running I have not thought it to be that hot. In fact it is cooler that under the...

Being the owner of a (21' prior to the EC) it is interesting to see what you 25 and 21EC owners do with the space and features you have for overnighting etc. With the cockpit hardtop I added(in album) I am working to make the tug more acceptable to the wife overnighting. Yesterday was for the...

Jay, I am not familar with the ezload trailer manual lock but on my King and the last trailer I had I found the right size bolt to just slip in the trailer slider. I would just slip it in when I did not have the solenoid elec. hooked up and when I had a solenoid go bad. just pull the bolt out...

Chet, Congratulations on the new tug. You will love the boat and are in for some great times with a small fuel cost. This site was and is great to allow Ranger owners aboard and it is the best web forum that I have ever seen. There is a world of good boating info. and help in making your own...

Dan, Congratulations on the new tug. You are in for many hours of enjoyment and at a very economical pace. We also elected the porti potti on our R-21 (prior to the EC. I am in the process of installing a curtain in the cockpit for privacy. In fact I have started other additions under the...

Ed, Thanks for the pictures. Both the boat and the cover look great. In fact the owners look quite happy. Did you contact Da Nag or Tyboo for an album? Go to Help at the top right and go to set up a photo album. To be as technically challenged as I am it was still easy once they set the album...

Ed, Congratulations on the new Tug and there is no doubt you are in for some good times on it. We are always glad to see others with the boats and are looking forward to what you do on it and any things you do to it. Get them to assign you an album and let us see pictures of the boat and the...

Fred, The situation has brought me to a new appreciation for the boat that I have. A Ranger 21' tug may be slow but at about 1/3 gal.per hour it is getting about 18 m/g. It is nice to enjoy the time on the water and not feel bad about the fuel consumption. It is so much better and enjoyable...

Ed, I have trailered my R21 many times with one trip over 600 miles each way. (1) on the canvas I would not take the chance. There is a lot of wind to whip one point free and it is over then. Mine had a mast and boom that had to come down but I just rolled the sunbrella canopy up once and it...

Being from Fl. where the Atlas is built, I have watched them and wished for years. You have a great boat and the factory additions are above any I have seen. It should make a great cruiser and congratulations. C-Dory has proven itself to many happy boaters and your choice should bring another...

I am reading the diagram as you are but thought Andrew told me to hook the charger to the house battery. We discussed the two bank charger and he felt it was probably an overkill if in fact the eng. battery was only used to start. The alternator should bring it back up quickly and you were not...

Tugly, Thanks for the PDF posting. I must look at what I have done because I believe this shows the charger hooked to the engine battery and I thought Andrew told me the house battery. Thanks again. Ron

Kimshack, If #1 is dead turn the switch to both to start the engine. #1 is wired to the engine. #2 is wired to all accessories through the switch and both are wired to both on the switch. Both are charged by the alternator and #2 is charged by the guest charger. This is my understanding from...

I think the wood was dropped well back some time ago, but the helm move to starboard and the hull change came with the 2007 model as a 21EC. I have perhaps the last 21R built and it is a 2006 model. Ron

Terraplane, Call up Legacy Harbour marina, Ft Myers, Fl. on the web and it will give you a good idea of costs and what is available there. It may not be considered the city marina but is one there that is located downtown. Ron
