Thanks for the opinions gents. Y’all pretty much had the the same opinion I have but I just wanted to play devil’s advocate
Any you guys out there towing with this rig? Curious to see some opinions. My current setup is a 2010 Ram towing a z521 Ranger and the ram does a great job, however I am a Chevy fan ( had an 07...
Ok so here’s what I’m going to do; I’m simply going to swap the battery going to the isolator to the battery with the tm negative lead. Thanks for the clarification gents, much appreciated!
Ok,so after doing a couple searches I think I got it narrowed down but thought I’d check it here. So I have an electrolysis problem starting. Here’s the deal; 36v trolling motor/ 3 batteries and a...
25p tempest plus 3” below pad should be somewhere close to your optimal setup. Tempest is the speed wheel and a good performer on that hull
Just got a 2012 z521 with an sho. I’m getting the same numbers with a 25p t1 ( got an atlas plate so not sure what prop to pad but 3 on the gauge is the best. The big rangers (and nitros for that...
Just got a 2012 z521 with a250 sho and was wondering what you guys are running for four blade props on the rig?
I had the same problem and it happened to me towing to Canada from RI. A temp fix is to rap it on the side with a rubber mallet or ball peen hammer to make it slightly egg shaped. This may work for...
Stay with the oil but when you replace everything get new caps from ufp or any trailer company that sells ufp products. If you look a couple threads down I had an issue with the old ones coming off....
If you're referring to the brand new ones from ufp I have to order them. The ones I have now are the stamped ( or so they look) ones with the the lip where the cap meets the hub. Yeah I was thinking...
So I had one of the old ones " walk off" the hub while going on a long trip. I tried rapping it on the ground with a hammer to make it egg shaped so it will fit tighter and for the most part it stays...
Update. He measured his prop to pad. Motor is 4 1/2" below pad
It's great to see you posting Roger. I just found out about your accident and wish you a speedy recovery! When it was perfect ( he did send it to mark) he was getting about 69-70 gps at 5850. From...
A friend of mine has a '07 z21 with a strong '07 225 etec ho and runs a 27 tempest which is good on top end but slow holeshot. He tried running a 26 fury and it's too little pitch. So I told him to...
Thanks guys! I figured as much but I just wanted to double check
As long as the boat is sound, go for it. I have a 2000 518dvx and as far as I'm concerned it's the best bang for the buck. It's speedy ( not a missle but fast enough) and it's the perfect blend of...
How long do you guys wait before putting oil back in the hub? I know the tube says wait 24hrs but I'm not entirely sure it applies to this situation. I've been waiting for it to at least cure up for...
I replaced my 2000 Ficht with a 2015 gen1 etec ho. The offer they were running at the start of last year was a 7 yr warranty ( 3 yr for the bubble and 4 yr with a $400 deductible if anything goes...
Awesome idea! Can't wait to try it even if it's not on the boat
So I've been thinking about just straight up painting my dash with either the bed liner in a can so it has a little bit of texture ( not like rhino lining just a sparse coat of rustoleum) or...
O.k. Guys, So like I stated in the initial post I know this has been done a billion times, I just wanted to see what some other ranger guys thought about some other boats. I'm not trying to question...
So maybe this is just one more spoon stirring up the hype bowl about bps and ranger, and I know this has probably been done about a thousand times before but what would be your second pick boat...
Replaced with the same size, a 750 gph
So my starboard pump on my 518vx seems to be weak even after replacing it with a new one. Even if you close the top water jet valve it just seems to not suck enough out of the Venturi. I checked the...
I run a 24p rx4 on a 518vx with a 2015 200ho gen 1 etec. The thing is a grip monster! Defiantly a good rough water prop. The adjustable vent ports a great! I don't understand why all props aren't...
