    Trailering the R21

    I have some R21 trailering questions: 1. Could someone comment from experience on trailering the R21 WITH the aft cockpit canopy canvas installed and unfurled ON the frame? We're planning on trailering our new R21 home in a week or so from our dealer here in NJ and will have an 85 mile return...

    Ranger Tugs "50th Anniversary"?

    Ranger Tug name question

    Being "almost" a Ranger Tug owner (in about 4 weeks) I have a question about the name of the company who manufactures the boat I'm about to take ownership of.

    Tug Boat Whistle

    Joel, I looked at the HF website and found a couple of 12v compressors but the smallest tank I saw was 5 gallons. Do you happen to have the HF stock numbers of the tank & compressor that you bought? Also what kind of recovery time do you have once you blast a couple of toots on the whistle? Is...

    Tug Boat Whistle

    As I anxiously await the delivery of our R21EC that we've ordered from our local Ranger dealer here in NJ, I've been considering intstalling a steam whistle on our 21 as well. After seeing the inside of an actual 21 the available space to hide a 12V air compressor and tank will be the biggest...

    I went to the Yanmar website and submitted an inquiry regarding clear vs red diesel fuel and they were kind enough to reply. I received the following reply from my local Yanmar regional rep here in NJ: ''The CLEAR, over-the -road, and the RED, off-road, diesel fuels are the same with the...

    Sounds like the porta potty is probably the most sensible route, at least for us, after reading the comments. And I will most certainly remember to pour S-L-O-W when emptying the unit. I'm sure the holding tank configuration works well. When we owned our 32' sailboat it was always a royal...

    R21 Pre Purchase Question: Holding Tank Pumpout

    I'm considering the purchase of an R21 and have a question about the optional holding tank. When we used to own our sailboat and asked people about pumping out the holding tank they looked at us like we were from another planet. 'Pumpout?.... just dump it overboard!' ..... Good environmental...
