If you're waiting to take delivery of your Ranger Tug, it could be an R23, R25, RT27OB, R29, or R31. This video is for you. If you are buying any boat, for that matter, this would be a good video to watch. If you live in the PNW and plan on boating in the Puget Sound or the San Juan islands, this new series, Down @ the Dock Mod Edition, is for you. We started this series about all of the upgrades we have done primarily so that we can anchor multiple nights in a row without killing our batteries again........ Martin will go through each modification, the cost, and how hard or easy the modification was. -

Been eyeing boats so much lately, including the Ranger Tugs R23. They're so lovely. My mother passed September 21, 2021. The ocean and fishing are the only things that seem to bring me peace. I just feel free of my burdens when out on the water. My mother, she loved the ocean too. Perhaps I feel closer to her when I'm not on land.

Great suggestions and so helpful to someone with a new boat. Consider glass for really cleaning the windows. They will shed water almost like Rainey without making your wipers chatter, but don’t lube the glass with soap, use something with polymers like Griot’s Speed Shine. Consider also a spray on wax and/or a wash & wax to help repel salt and preserve whatever wax you have. Very satisfying to use. I would love to see a video of some of the Ranger line up taking the same rough water from inside and outside. How much better is the 27 than the 23?

Buying a mattress topper can be a big mistake, lol, because once you get use to it you can't sleep without it. We even bring one along for the lake cabin fishing trips.

Love your videos. Im an avid fisherman. I own an alumacraft 205. My dream is when i retire to do the great loop. And o want a trailerable trwler. Been doing much research and you have helped a lot. The 27 out board is fantastic. I am.used to and love outboards and i think that is what i woudd go with. I also like the C-dory.
@Letsgochannelsurfing
@Letsgochannelsurfing Год назад
The RT27-OB is used quite a bit for a great loop boat. I know of several who spent last year traveling the great loop. I'd love to run my boat through the Big Chute. That'd make for some fantastic video!!

Thanks for all the awesome videos Martin and Lazina. I hope I didn't scare you too bad when I ran into you at the boat show in Anacortes, was super fun to get to meet you after watching your videos all this time. I felt awkward as you were waiting in line but couldn't miss the opportunity. We will be taking delivery of our R-25 OB in July. I have a question for you; do you still use salt-away now that you've got ceramic coating on your boat? We signed up for Kevin's service after watching your video, so thanks again!
@Letsgochannelsurfing
@Letsgochannelsurfing 2 года назад
It was great meeting you!! Don’t feel awkward. We love meeting and talking with other boaters. Especially other Ranger Tug owners!! Boating season is here. We’d love to go boating with you and capture some great video of you out on your new boat. Great question by the way. I use a lot less salt away now after ceramic coating. I only run salt away through the engine. The rest of the boat I just rinse with fresh water and blow dry it with a Dewalt 20v blower.
@rnr4real
@rnr4real 2 года назад
thank you for continuing to share your Ranger adventures and tips, how often do you wax the out side?
@Letsgochannelsurfing
@Letsgochannelsurfing 2 года назад
We wax the outside twice a year. It’s never fun. Like the Karate Kid. Wax on… wax off.. Lol I’m looking into ceramic coating. That would last probably 2 years. We also keep our boat in a covered slip which helps a lot at keeping the suns UV rays off and it keeps the rain off. That helps the wax last longer as well.

Thank you for this. We're new to boating, and this seems like a pretty good list of items to either add to the boat we buy or check that it has. Also, noticed the Silver Dolphins and FBM stickers.

What length and diameter fender lines come with the original G-5 boat fenders? Thanks for all your great videos I take delivery of a R-27 next month and am beyond excited.
@Letsgochannelsurfing

Thanks for watching! You'll have to send us a pic of your boat when you get it! I don't recall the size line for the fenders. I think they are 1/2 inch. Length is probably 5 foot.

@Letsgochannelsurfing
@Letsgochannelsurfing 2 года назад
Our water tastes fine. The flexzilla hoses are really nice. Ours is dedicated to just freshwater; I never run saltwater through it. What's an example of an RV hose? I'd be interested to know what you're using.

Did you try longer wiper blades? I have a kenworth truck it comes with 14” wipers I changed them to 18” made a huge difference I could even get away with 22”
@Letsgochannelsurfing
@Letsgochannelsurfing 2 года назад
The blades are as long as they could possibly be. The front window is curved. Makes for a really great view, but unfortunately, doesn’t lend itself well for wipers.

8 th8nk with flushing with engine off the thermostat will be closed stopping water from flushing out the engine block
@Letsgochannelsurfing
@Letsgochannelsurfing 4 месяца назад
If the boat is the water and the engine is running, it's raw water cooled. In my case, that would be running sea-water through the engine. If the boat was on a trailer or otherwise out of the water, you could run ear muffs to idle the engine, but most likely at idle, it won't get hot enough to open the thermostats. I flush my engine as the very first thing I do when I get back to my home slip as the engine is stil hot. Maybe the thermostats are open, maybe they aren't. I do the best I can.

For the "suicide knob", what position did you find best? 2 o'clock, 10 o'clock? I was thinking the 2 o'clock position since I'm right-handed, but then, the 10 o'clock and using my left hand on the wheel (right hand on the throttle) would work better for docking. What did you find?Thanks!
@Letsgochannelsurfing
@Letsgochannelsurfing Месяц назад
Put it 1/2 way in between the spokes of the wheel. There is no 2 o’clock or 10 o’clock position. Autopilot when enabled will move that position each time it’s engaged as the autopilot drives the boat.
