I was curious about something I could not find an answer to in the Ranger literature....
The RT198 warranty as I understand it says that a jackplate is allowed but that it HAS to be installed at the factory to keep the warranty intact. Maybe they have some special way or place they install it....I don't know. But it did not say what type, brand or size that they install that I could find.
I know that some other manufacturers like Xpress are pretty friendly with the jackplate size issue. I think Ranger had some specs in the old literature about what is allowed. The specs are still there for the RT188 but I did not see anything about the 198 except that as I read it, it said any plate installed by anyone other than the factory voided the hull warranty. But I didn't see anything about the specs of the plate like the 188 literature has. What do they install as that option to keep warranty in effect?
