1998 175 EFI Mercury....Can you install the Smartcraft or Merc Monitor on this model motor? Really wanting to upgrade for better accuracy

Yes they made it complete! 1-800-724-7273 ask for MS. Connie Hill. All you need is your vin # and they will make it with the exact carpeting that came with the boat.
I just ordered and recieved my extension from ranger! Took 3 weeks for them to make it and ship it. Cost was 340.00 complete and thats for the complete deck with water proof storage!
Just ordered a full set from Lebroc Industries for my Ranger! Will be installing them in the morning and by the looks and quality I dont think I could have gotten a better deal! Should look them up

Thanks guys. I am currently at 3.75 below pad with great water pressure, gonna move it at quarter intervalls and see what happens. Thinking this may also help out with the chine walking
I have a 1998 R 80 Sport with a 175 EFI Mercury turning a 25p Tempest, What size Jackplate would give me the best performance? Thanks in advance
Well I may not win a single thing but I'm gonna so look good sitting @ Dardanelle in my Ranger!:stirthepot:

Anyone know where I can find replacement seats for an R 80 Sport?
I may not catch alot of bass but I sure look good sitting in this R 80 Sport!
From what I was told by Ranger the R-80 Never came with a bench seat. Came with the 2 seats. Was told I could have 1 custom built by Ranger for my Model but it is quite expensive
Ranger quoted me a price of $1300.00 FOR A BENCH SEAT FOR MY R-80
Yes Sir that was me. Looking like we may have a break from the wind this w/e finally! Sure gonna be alot of boats there Sat. The Carters Tournament and also the Youth State Tournament. Should make...
