My 198p was leaking around the motor mounting bolts, most of the time it’s lack of grease on the drain plug o-ring.

You actually loose 4 inches overall length with the P model.
Mine starts to chine a little at about 57-58, so I just keep it around 55.
I thought there was a trim limit switch on the Merc 150 4 stroke. My manual explained how to adjust it. I couldn’t raise my motor enough to use my motor tote. Maybe a tilt limit switch, can’t...
There’s a thread on the tin boat section where a 75 hp 4s was flashed, don’t know what hp you are asking about.
The serial number is the very first thing in the post, SN 2B663885, thanks for the reply.
SN 2B663885 I have a four stroke 150 on a 2020 Ranger RT 198p. The paperwork says the boat and motor are 2020 models. The Emissions sticker under the cowl on the motor has May 2019. So, is the...
I have two of them, I'm satisfied for the price.
Sounds like you are maxxing out on the RPM's (6000). Not much else you can do. I would think you should be seeing more speed than that. Is that GPS speed or from the speedometer?
For those that have a 2020 Ranger RT 188p or 198p with flush mounted electronics in the new bow panel, how is that working for you? I really would like to flush mount mine to keep them out of the...
As was previously stated, the worse that can happen is they say no. I just recently sold my RT 178 for asking price. I was ready to get rid of it, and was prepared to come down. The buyer never...
Ranger 391V has it covered. I don't remember where I got my pump kit, I think Amazon or Ebay.
My connector on the trailer end was loose. It was under warranty so I took it to the dealer. he took a small screw driver and bent the prongs outward a little, no problems since.
I cranked it up with the muffs. The water pump was good and the shifter worked great. I must have taken the lower unit off and put it back on 4-5 times, and nothing was wrong all along, live and...
Ok, thanks for the input. I will run it with the muffs when the silicon bead has fully cured this afternoon to check the water pump. Then I will check it out with crossed fingers. I hope all is...
SN 2B196218, 2015 75 hp 4s. I changed out my water pump, no problem, everything went back together smoothly, aligned everything going back in with the foot, nuts tightened up with little...
I ordered my 2020 RT 198p last July. I was told 12 weeks and that's exactly how long it took.
I have a 2020 Mercury 150 4 stroke L model on a Ranger RT 198p. I have most of the break in completed with about 6 hours on it now. It is very quiet and smooth running with a good hole shot on the...
OK, just checked mine to make sure, it locks. Sounds like quality control at Ranger is slipping. Some might be able to get a locking latch under warranty, otherwise changing it out is easy.
Some of the 198's don't perform well with a jack plate, some do. I have read on some forums that some 198's with a jack plate don't get enough lift and struggle to run 50 mph. I have no jack plate...
Sounds like you got the wrong latch on that lid, it should be just like your rod box latches.
It has been my experience that when a boat is ordered with a motor/prop package, the boat manufacturer is the one that selects the prop size.
I used Iguana Graphics, good experience, good product.
When I bought my 198p I couldn't get mine to pump water in. After checking everything else i looked at the pump and the florite valve. There is an arm that the cable attaches to that operates the...
He does have a RT 198p also.
