All of the bass boats I've ever owned had this problem to one degree or another on steep ramps. The fix for the steep ramp problem would really be to replace your center bunks with two that are 6" to...

D&R was a Ranger dealer for many years. I bought my 620 new from them in 2004. A few years back, Ranger dropped them as a dealer (maybe because they also were Triton and Nitro dealers). I'm glad...
Nice! That looks sharp. I may have to try their LED strips to replace the BlueWater ones in my boat. I purchased them new last season, installed them, and there are LED bulbs out on every deck...
You can check this place: Shop Domed Numbers They have a phone number you can call with a bunch of different color combinations. You could probably send them your completed one, or send them a...
DELETE - Sorry, double post.
I made the switch in 2004 from a 20' bass boat (Skeeter 202) to a Ranger 620 and have been very happy. I miss the length of the front casting deck, but that's it as far as the layout of the boat. ...
#1 Seems like an annoyance, but also a safety issue. The photos I can see of the floors in VS1780 show floor drains in place:
Example 1
Example 2
Something about the floor drain issue doesn't...
With a 235, you shouldn't need one. If you're trying to improve holeshot or reduce porpoising, look to your prop first. I have one on my duck boat with a 25hp Merc, and it's great for pushing weeds...
Very nicely done! :thumb up2:
Lou's got a good point, though I actually didn't change my start code for when the boat's at the dock. I changed it to prevent someone starting the main engine or messing around with pumps and...
This. Once I've got it tight with the ratchets the first time, I'll grab each strap and lean out to pull out any slack. Then I'll tighten it up the rest of the way. You'll be surprised at how much...
I do like that my auto-bilge wakes up the keypad. Especially when I'm driving back from the launch in a heavy rain and my boat starts "whizzing" on cars in the next lane over.... Oops... :eek:
@SA: Only the items controlled by the keypad. Anything on the main terminal block or powered directly from the fusebox, which doesn't run through the keypad, will still be powered - gps, graphs,...
No problem. Here you go:

Yes the keypad is only for the motor ignition. All of your accessories will continue to work as long as the main breaker is on. Switch off the breaker to charge. Also, you should change your code...
I can take a picture underneath tomorrow, if you'd like, but there are two full-thickness glassed-in supports that run all of the way on either side of where the seat mount is. The sides and bottom...
I got to thinking about that, after my post. I grew up in SD/MN and some of that over-mixing probably comes from snowmobiles too. You're right lean=bad for performance. A 35:1 ratio isn't really...
Yep. Just checked. Don't mean to thread-jack, but I called them again today and they told me basically the same thing as last time: unless you run your power for the network directly to the...
50:1 is the ratio for a carbureted engine, correct, though a number of cold climate guys I know mix at 30:1 - once again choosing fouled plugs and extra smoke for extra piston lubrication. Lots of...
You'll gain the ability to tweak your setup and, as Carlos said, you'll gain handling. Just my two cents, but he can add a hydraulic plate for not a whole lot more (I have had 3 Bob's plates, and I...
Oil injection was fairly new back in the mid-80's and the alarm systems for injection pump failure weren't that good or, in some cases, were non-existent. A lot of guys with motors from the 80's and...
Congrats and welcome!:thumb up2:
Mine on my '04 is much bigger than that one. I think your '99 will be as well, I've seen one on a '99 619 that was about the same length, but it depends on the placement of the center hole for the...
I was feeling snarky when I wrote that post and probably shouldn't have, but now I'm glad I did, Roger. Maybe I've got a bad one somehow... I've talked to Lowrance on it before, but maybe I'll call...
The rivets that Ranger uses are about an 1/8" too short, but they are the longest rivets you can find. I've had some success pushing new rivets through a washer the same diameter and then retracting...
