You can also check your brake lines and check for trash in the lines. I re-habbed an older tandem axle ranger trailer and the lines would not flow any fluid. After several attempts to flush both...

1997 461vs with original 1996 Evinrude Intuder 150 still going strong. I've replaced carpet, seats, and hatch latches and in the last few years upgraded the trolling motor and electronics. Aside...
I’ve never been in a tournament where the organizers checked motors against hull plates, but I guess there are some that might. I’m not about pushing limits too far, but just have a hard time...
you really need to look back at this observation. If activating the primer helps then you definitely have a fuel delivery problem. As Championman noted, you need to replace the float chambers and...
I was thinking along those lines too. 60-65 is probably a safe max speed for this hull and the 200 could
hit that easily with throttle to spare.
I have a ‘97 461vs that’s in great shape with its original ‘96 Evinrude Intruder 150. I love the boat and the Evinrude is in great shape and pushes the boat up to about 55 MPH. The hull plate on my...
If you can't find them, go to your local hardware store and buy regular SS screws that match the head style, diameter, and thread pitch you need along with a spray can of black enamel paint. Stick...
I've talked with both VC Marine and Reeder Trausch. Both of them were extremely nice and helpful. VC can order a 175 but said lead times are at least 6 months. RT has a 20" 175 in stock and were...
I'm not sure, I can't seem to get the web site to come up.
One other thing to consider is if your fill cap on the oil tank is venting properly. If the vent is clogged it will cause the tank to pressurize and force excess oil through the pump.
Also, make...
About another 25 minutes west of Tuscola. Which chemical plant Lyondell Bassell or Cabot? Lyondell closed operations this year and relocated employees to it's Texas facility.
I emailed RT and...
These guys wouldn't be a bad drive either, a out 2 hours. I'd prefer to find something in stock rather than order so I'll check them out to see if they have anything in the warehouse.
THanks.
Interesting, I know that area well because I grew up in Crawfordsville but haven't been to Raccoon lake in years so I wasn't aware of that dealer. I'm currently only a 2 hour drive due west on US36...
I live in Central Illinois and I'm considering repowering my '97 Ranger with a DF175A. There is supposedly a dealer south of Springfield but they don't seem to list any inventory. I've seen Team...
Good advice. I've been running the Evinrude/Johnson Premium Synthetic Blend in my '96 Intruder 150 (E150GLEDB) and after I sorted out a bunch of fuel delivery issues it still smokes a little more...
My '97 461VS has the same setup, no cleats except the one integrated with the retractable tope. I like that feature because it makes fewer things to catch line and rods.
Those are hard to find. I scoured Marketplace and landed a set of 4 in 2020. I've haven't looked since, but most folks that have them, keep them.
Correct. This era of Ranger had the "PullTrusion" stringers and full epoxy/glass transom with no wood in the supporting structure. The top cap had nothing to do with transom strength so these bars...
So you took the boat in to a shop just for a new throttle cable and steering cable, or were the 6 things I numbered above also done to the carb/engine/fuel system? Or did you do those 6 things...
Thanks for the info. At best I figure my boat is a 60MPH hull which is just fine. I have no desire to turn this into a speed/performance boat. A reliable rig that gets me to the fish reasonably...
I asked this question over in the Ranger forum and have ZERO replies. I thought maybe you all could give better insight.
My 1997 Ranger 461VS currently has a 1996 Evinrude Intruder 150 (original...
My 1997 461VS currently has a 1996 Evinrude Intruder 150 on the back. I'm thinking about powering and after a lot of online reading I'm leaning toward a Suzuki DF175. My 'Rude is still in good...
Definitely convert to disk brakes. Here is a kit with axle mounts, calipers, and hub/rotor: https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Brakes/Kodiak/K2HR35D.html
I've used Etrailer for several things and...
