    I’d continue bearing on rangers door. I had issues when I bought my new skeeter but after enough phone calls and getting the right person, he agrees the boat should be replaced. Good luck

I will always go to a local dealer totally independent and I trust. Also helps to have a 'shade tree' boat person on speed dial.
    If it ihas one it should have backup like some of the tritons

They stay extremely busy and he may not be interested in trying to help, but it's worth the drive, and the conversation. Dalton Marine is good folks as well.
    They no longer sell Ranger. Phoenix and Ikon now.

    That happened quickly. The last time I talked to Price, they were having lots of Ranger issues, but didn't know they had divorced from Ranger. That says volumes about the lack of Ranger quality.

    Well, one thing I think is they were going to put Rangers in their local company store. They were a Ranger dealer since like 1968.

    I would recommend Dawson Marine a Ranger dealer in Scottsboro. His mechanic Keith can fix that problem

    Dalton Marine was the oldest continuous Ranger dealer in the US. I would think White River would have to compensate Fish and Fun in Hixon, as they are 30 minutes ish away from the BPS in East Ridge.

    Did the Ranger Moderator not help you from this site? John Clark always had a way to make things happen. I too had issues with White River and sold everything White River that I had. I went to Vexus and got the customer Service that Ranger used to have, and I have been happy.

    I heard nothing from a ranger moderator or anything from White River in general.
