    Ranger Z520L & Z521L Strike Plates for Center Rod Locker/Storage

    I spoke with "Al from Canada" last week............... He said it would be OK to post this on the Ranger forum!

    I had a lot of guys on this forum asking about a strike plate that would fit the center rod locker/storage compartment in the bow of the 500 series "L" boats.

    So after some trial and error, I came up with a 6" strike plate that forms nicely to the Ranger "L" boats inside curved lip of the Bow Rod Locker/Storage Compartment.

    The plate will install in a couple minutes, and prevent damage to the gel coat if the latch happens to be in the wrong position when the lid is closed.

    Standard plates, or formed plates, can be configured to fit any, Rod Locker, Storage Compartment, Cooler or Live Well, and are available for all Ranger Boat models, years 2013 & up.

    Plates come with stainless mounting screws, & are Hard Coat Anodized in your choice of color. Red, Blue, Black, or Clear

    If anyone is interested in trying some of these plates, or has any questions, shoot me a PM and I'll get back to you with some more info.

    Eric did a great job with these plates. Installed them on my 621 a couple weeks ago and they are going to work great for all my buddies that can’t seem to get the latch in the right location before shutting the lid!!! I don’t have to worry about that anymore.

    Thanks to all the guys on the Ranger Boat forum for purchasing Strike Plates, and for their input on the plates as well. It was nice to build something that could potentially protect fellow Ranger Boat owners investments, if only in a small way.

    For anyone still on the fence, I have 4 complete sets left for the 500 series "C" & "L" Ranger Boats. 1 of each color Red, Blue, Black or Clear Anodize. $110 per/set, includes shipping. The complete set covers all compartments, including the livewells. Stainless screws included as well. Send me a PM for any questions, or payment info......... Payment by PayPal or personal check.
