    Ranger did a decent job overall of feeding the helm and bow stations, they just missed adding a relay so it doesn't drain the battery. The helm had over 100ma draw (ethernet hub etc) and the stupid power ports had 24ma as I recall. Battery went flat pretty quick unless on a trickle.
    This will fix that: https://www.amazon.com/Disconnect-Is...16234126&psc=1

    3) Trim motor down (to allow step 6)

    4) Remove boat cover

    6) Tip up bimini top

    7) Flip up jump seat

    Then reverse all this BUT when it comes to trim the motor I have nothing because the power is disconnected by the switch.

    What I did to take care of this was to add a relay that is controlled by an extra switch labeled ACC at the helm station.
