Great looking rig! I wish my 518vx was that color

I have a tandem oil bath 99 trailer under a 518 and I learned the hard way that when you service your oil, real, seal, bearings, etc at least for Me would buy a new cap and rtv it on. I had caps...

While not the same boat I own a ranger 2000 518vs And at almost 20 yrs old it is still solid. Ranger downsides for that era is the deck lids can crack and get squishy. With that sad ranger STILL...

Napa sells Lucas hub oil in my area. Good tip on the hot water! I usually just set it in the hub vertically then go do something else for 20 min and it's still not full.

Thanks for the imput everyone. I think I may buy a bravo or trophy. I don't want to get into installing a jack plate this close to fishing season

200 opti.

i would like some input of what would be better for my 518. I currently have no jack plate and dual power poles and usually my boat gets up on plane pretty good, but loaded, full livewells, full...

I don't have an hds 12 but I do have a 1198 mounted on a dek-it mount and it fills up the console for sure. My boat is a 518vx and the top of graph is about windshield hight. Not sure how much...

You could also disconnect everything from all batteries and if voltage is gone then add wires one by one until it returns.

Isolate the motor from the charger by disconnecting the starter leads from the battery. Then plug in the charger and test for that voltage. Seems to me that voltage is leaking to the motor frame...

Do a search for "ranger seats" and there are a few guys that describe how they went about installing new seats into old boats.

The breaker is intended to protect the wire from an overloaded condition. If your breaker trips it is either overloaded or wore out. If you replace with a larger breaker you run the risk of an...

I will try that thank you

Oil bath caps keep poping off while trailering! I've lost two a year for the last three years. These are unthreaded press on and I use Rtv when replacing them. My question is what are you guys...

As far as the motor goes if it checks out compression wise I think you should be good.

Bought my 99 518 w/opti two years ago for 12,500 and it had crappy lowrance units and a 74lb MK. I haven't been in a lot of different boat brands besides triton and skeeter, but the 518 has one of...

Well John the old style 8 footers I really don't like the looks of, and I can see power poles everywhere on the internet. Even if you google 10 ft minn kota talon you don't get many pictures. I...

Thanks fellas

Posted this on the ranger board and got no hits. I am really considering the 10 ft talon for my ranger and I have yet to see one in person, and pictures are pretty scarce of them mounted. So if...

Who has done it and which brackets did you use? Also pictures would be great!

Of course they do! I just purchased a few MHX high mods for my next few builds. I've had good luck with MHX in the past so decided to stick with them.

Looking to order a few new rods over the holiday and for those who have built on both which do you prefer? I've always built on MHX but am curious about the revelution series

perfect thank you

So I need a new lid for my used ranger and I cant tell if the carpet was a light grey or a greyish brown. I don't want to order the wrong lid and was hoping someone had an idea of what colors were...

yes that is what im saying.
