Guys,
Sorry if this is repetitive but my trolling motor is not keeping its charge as long as it used to. I haven't changed the batteries since I bought the boat 2.5 years ago. My first step was to...
Yes, its still the factory dash but i wrapped it in aluminum vinyl wrap. Just got it from amazon.
...
Thanks. I used something very similar, whatever UHMW i could find at work. Measured my tools and machined in the slots. It was a nice improvement i did last winter along with the tray that definitely...
Here's what I did. Made brackets to mount my HDS5 behind my steering where so my 7 could be ram mounted next to the console. Then used a 2.25" ram mount and bolted it to the fiberglass section...
Top speed seems fair for the load its carrying. I am at 56-57mph with a 482V, 150 merc, and 23p prop with myself at 200lbs and a passenger about the same weight, low gas, low tackle, and empty wells.
I am in the process of replacing the steering cables on my 482. My question is, did you guys grease the tilt and steering tubes before installing the new cables? The tilt tube is full of junk so i...
Sounds good thank you. Glad to hear it helped as hydraulic is out of my budget as well. I called ranger and they said they were 13ft. How long did it take for you to do the job?
Great, thanks for the response i will be using the string trick and pulled one out at a time. A jackplate will be in the near future as well. You mentioned to add a jackplate while doing the...
Guys,
After i got my boat out of storage this year, the steering is noticeably stiffer than last season. I am assuming moisture got in my helm/cables/rack and pinion and causing this. The boat is a...
Thanks for the info. Will start this morning and see how the compound works
Guys,
I am going to wet sand and buff the top cap of my boat this weekend. It's not terrible just more faded or hazy than the rest of the boat. What grit would you start with? I am thinking just...
If you end up putting them on...post a pic. Don't see many older Rangers with them

Blue and silver. Hopefully the picture worked. Has a spare tire now and the wheels are just plasti-dipped so the black can be peeled...
Guys,
It may be a long shot but does anybody want to trade their tandem axle trailer for a single? The boat is a 482V. Trailer has good tires and the bearings were changed last year and has bearing...
Guys,
I have been going to the Milwaukee boat show as long as I can remember but the Chicago one is coming up as well. Has anyone gone to both and can give input as to which one has more...
Nothing. I eat everything in sight
Last summer I upgraded from an 16ft aluminum boat to this 1992 482V that was in great condition. I couldn't be happier and am slowly working on upgrades to it. Added upgraded electronics, deck...
Ive seen those as well but they seem very expensive and the screens only work in accordance with the specific processor. Should be a cheaper method similar to how you can transmit your computer...
It seems like the latest and greatest thing in electronics is to have the biggest screen possible whether its for ease of vision or for the ability to fit multiple windows on one screen.
Wouldn't...
Nice. I also realized a fast car breaks a lot. Not saying a boat is cheap but with a car, you modify the engine...once you do that, you need mod the transmission/clutch to match your engine's...
Beckham definitely got the "star" treatment. If it was some scrub receiver, he would've been tossed. Very classless move.
No kidding. Craigslist can be an awesome yet incredibly frustrating tool. Not to mention its getting sketchier by the day.
True! Its only money, they make more everyday!
Hellcats are awesome but are basically the size of a bass boat
This past summer i sold my 450HP Z28 for a Ranger 482. Although I dont regret my decision and absolutely love fishing out of a bass boat, I cant say i dont miss the heart throbbing sound of a cammed...
More storage and it allows me to move around the deck easier. I do a fair amount of musky fishing as well so if i have one on, I like the ability to move around the boat in order to land the fish....
