It’s going to kill me but I might have to let my new 2009 Ranger 25 go. My daughter is have some financial problems and I thought I would sell my 25 to help her out and when things get better, replace it. The boat has the Cummins engine has never seen salt water and sits on my lift at Smith...

Ranger Winterizing Part 3 In this Part 3 segment of winterizing, we’ll finish the entire boat with the exception of the engine. On my Ranger, I have the Cummins engine however, since I plan on using my boat this Winter - I’ll use a “BoatSafe” heater for the engine compartment. I got some good...

Running Your Marine AC while on a Trailer Back in 94, when I used to pull my 2556 Bayliner around the country quite a bit visiting different areas, I got tired of pulling in RV parks and sweating bullets all night, when my boat already had a marine A/C unit sitting there which was un-useable...

Part 2 - of my winterizing, is the modification of the water intake for the sea-water wash-down and head intake. The modification consists of installing two additional shut-off valves so the RV antifreeze solution is locked into the appliances and hoses. On my Ranger, I improved the factory...

With regard to winterizing my Ranger 25, I wanted something that would be easy to deal with each year so I just picked up a few items to install. Winterizing now can be as simple as shutting off the intake valve - opening the mini valve and sticking the hose in a jug of RV Juice. Fire up the...

I know it's not for everyone, but I like the high gloss look of woodwork. It's simple, cheap and for the most part, pretty rewarding to see the final product. All it takes is a quart of Polyurethane a good brush, sandpaper and some time. I'm not sure if Ranger uses a stain on the wood or some...

Transceiver Alarm System for your Sea Dory I posted recently this alarm thread on the Ranger forum and thought it would be equally interesting to Sea Dory owners as well since you guys trailer your boats more than we do and park them in remote locations. No matter where your boat is, at home...

Transceiver Alarm System for your boat No matter where your boat is, at home, at the dock, if your like me you worry every time you lose direct sight of your pride and joy. With this in mind, I started looking at security systems for my boat. After I exhausted myself looking, I came up with a...

110 V Receptacle Upgrade for Ranger 25 One thing about boats – no matter how many receptacles there are, you’ll always need another in a different place. Such is the case of the Ranger 25. The main motorvation for the upgrade was to add a receptacle in the rear bilge area for my BoatSafe...

I called my local marina here on the lake and found out today that he's still selling "low sulfur" fuel ( off roar diesel 500 ppm) and not "Ultra Low Sulfur fuel-15ppm". Next, I called Cummins Marine and the guy told me I have to use Ultra Low Sulfur fuel in my engine. Well the only thing...

Raymarine S1 Autopilot Install - Ranger 25 The following is a summery of my installation of the Raymarine S1 autopilot in my 09 Ranger 25. I originally planned on installing the S1000 Autopilot from Raymarine, which sells for under a grand. This system is very easy to install however, it only...

Who was it that changed out their stock Ranger 25 helm seat - I remember seeing the pictures - but can't remember who it was! Many Thanks

Thinking about an autopilot for my Ranger 25 - seems a lot of guys are using the Raymarine S1000 Wireless Autopilot System. It's designed for boats up to 25 ft and street price is around $900. Installation is easy as mounting three lines to the helm pump and mounting the computer. It feeds off...

I think I've read just about all the posts on the subject and it seems as if this is going to be a real job. It appears the house water pump is hidden somewhere under the helm step. Do you have to remove the refrig or the cabin heater to access it. I wanted to gain access to the intake to run...

I'm looking at a Garmin 4212 and I was curious as to which transducer most guys are using in the R-25. For ease of installation, I prefer a in hull design. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a few images we shot today of "Linda Sue" running here on beautiful Smith Mountain Lake, Va. I posted it on the Ranger board but figured I would place it on the main discussion board as well. This Ranger is equipped with the 150 hp Cummins and she really goes! Thanks!
