Have been checking around and I think Mike's idea is going to work. Headed to Lowes and Home Depot for a tool bag.
Nothing that will work that I could find. Still looking.
Not sure I'm in the proper place for this question but here goes. I am looking for a storage bag that attaches to the boat seat post. Not big but enough to hold small items. I thought I saw one on a...
The Ultrex is my favorite tool on the boat. For me it was well worth the cost. The spot lock is the coolest thing and use it all the time.
The boat finally arrived and have fished it for a couple of months before the Summer crowed arrived on Shasta. Winter is my time on the lake. I love the boat. Cant say a bad thing about it but wished...
I have a new RT178 purchased this spring. I have not had it in the rain yet but have put spaghetti mat in all compartments as the drain holes with rubber grommets would ( if water did get in ) allow...

fishin396 - Is it a 13.25 size prop. I tried a 13.25x17 four blade and did not like it. Lower rpms and speed than the 13.25x17 three blade Apollo prop. It also seem very hard to steer unless I was up...
I had heard that before buying the boat so I had a MercMonitor installed. ((( Fishin396 )))-- What size and pitch is your 4 blade. Trying out a 13.25/17 four blade in the morning. Will follow up...
Just an update. I called Mercury Marine and asked if running in the 4600-5000 range with the 75hp four stroke was in any way harmful and he stated that was right in the middle of this motors range...
fishin396- In what way did the 4 blade prop improve the handling. I am with you as for speed . I could not afford the fast boats and am happy with cruise speed of 35-36 . My boat does not use much...
fishon396- I had the dealer install it.
I agree with you TimK. The dealer checked the motor hight and said it was correct . If a prop change is made to increase the rpm , will there be a increase...
I have a MercMonitor installed . I went out today with my fishin partner and water was rough. Best was 37.5 @ 4950 max rpm with it trimmed up until it starts bouncing. 35-36 mph is a comfortable...
fishin396 - What motor are you running and what is your best speed set in the third hole? Are you running a stock aluminum prop or stainless .
Put a new Apollo 13 1/4" x 17 on my 75hp 4 stroke Merc ( RT178 ). W.O. still 5000rpm but picked up right at 4mph (gps) . Just a tick under 40mph with me ( 285+lb'r ) and 1/2 load of fuel. I know of a...
Just took out my new RT178 w/Merc 75hp 4 stroke and need advise . The boat will run GPS speed 36.4 speed with the trim up till the point the boat begins to porpoise? ( bounce ) severely until I trim...
Just got my new Ranger RT178 and called Bob for insurance quote. Very profesional and not pushy like a lot of insurance people. The price was very good and signed up. Great experiance and thanks very...
Well.......Here I am near the end of a 4 month wait and still no boat. Have been told more fairy tails than I can believe. Not very pleased with my first major boat purchase from the local dealer.
With the two week holiday shutdown factored in it will come to 10-11 weeks of build time.
Is there a way to watch the build progress of of my boat from Ranger ? This is my very first bass boat purchase and have no idea of what is directly available to me as the buyer. I purchased a RT178...
Went in today to put more money down on the boat and found out it was moved up on the build list and should be here "maybe" around the 1rst of January. I will definitely post pictures when it...
OK. Thanks. I won't worry about it then. Just keep up on the maintenance for sure.
Hello everyone. I have just ordered my first time for real bass boat to me anyway ( Ranger RT 178 w/ 75hp Four Stroke Merc ) and have a question if a water pressure gauge for the engine is...
Found it! I will be sure they mount the transducer on a mounting plate. Thank you for the heads up on that KP.
Any other tips are greatly......and I mean "Greatly appreciated" .
Just ordered my new RT178 w/Merc 75hp four stroke. Went all the way with a Ultrex 80 w/ipilot , Lawrance HDS 9 live front and back. Had to be different with the paint ( Mossy Oak Shadow Grass with...
