Welcome aboard Harm You will get a lot of enjoyment from your new boat. You made a great choice in a boat and the dealer is first class. Notice the nice job they did in mounting the extra goodies. I wonder if your going to leave her in the water in Vancouver or go with a trailer. Again...

All in all the little tug is a good product. Not huge in size but can also be towed easily that bigger boats have problems doing. Fuel use is real good and is not a concern. Factory listens to feedback and makes corrections. I have a early boat and had a few leaks in the skylights and a poor...

Thanks for sharing. Make sure you stop and get a "Skagway home of the North Wind" bumper sticker. I had one on my sailboat and was quite proud of it. I got mine at the gas station. Be careful up there. Have fun, Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

Heres one thing that would change. In Washington state I think you can operate a powerboat less than 16 feet and less than 10.0 hp motor but not on federal water. So you don't have to go through the registration process and title for that rowboat with the 2hp motor on the back. Sometimes the...

Took the little tug out the the day after the Holiday, July 5 and ran up to Little Sucia island in the San Juans and turned around and came back arriving today the 10th. Nice weather but lumpy seas and fairly windy afternoons. Only problem changing from to perfect to not perfect was the...

My boat has a early frame color and new boats have real color and not flat black so I had to order a windshield. Factory took care of that for me and also put in a order for a glass cover at the same time. I had to do a special order for the forest green color. I think the cover will be...

Best laid plans. I drove up to Lake Roosevelt in Northeast Washington state and got to the boat launch with no problems. Put my money in the envelope for launch, no problems. Got in the boat and went to open the cabin door and could not get it to open. Problem was the track was full of...

Dave I went through same thing and I have had good luck with the newer style of cans. No I dont like the fact they have a built in vent but they do work and spillage is nil. The Ranger tug will take four of them under the rear seat if you put them in at a angle. I got my cans at GI Joes and...

Heres one for Ranger owners. Flushing out the engine is real simple with the use of a washing machine hose with a double female hose fitting on each end. Turn off the sea cock, attach the washing machine hose to the T fitting and a garden hose to the other end. Everyone must have one left...

Skagway Street Car co provides a bus tour that is very good and has big old looking yellow buses and can be booked right on the ship. They may even have a web page, don't know. Train tour can also be booked on the ship both are full of history. Remember you will enter Canada and will need...

The Dodge diesel pickups with manual shift 5 speeds cannot be used for towing in the top gear. The repair can be done without major work. A nut comes loose in the transmission and well OD becomes neutral. Fords I thought fixed that problem of the 70's with transmission popping from P to R...

I also used Manson and it was manned the day I was there. The winds in the afternoon made me quit and return and take my boat out of the water. There was no place to hide either. Guess its a every afternoon thing. Nice park and launch area, easy to find. Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

A quick fix would to pound a wood match (with the end removed) in the hole and break off flush and re insert the screw. This would get you back home so you could do the epoxy repair. The epoxy repair works for worn holes in heavy house doors as well.. Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

That does look right to me. I also have serial number 10 FMLT2110A606.. And I can say that since my boat was laid up a lot of positive changes were made to the design and I would want a newer hull if I was still in the kicking tires stage. You can tell my 21 footer was laid up in January of...

Dave has a great plan except for one thing....I could be wrong but think hiway 123 got washed out last winter and maybe not repaired and you would have do either go to Packwood and north on the Skate Creek road or back to Morton to head North and then it would be on the west side of Mt Rainier...

Thanks for the info, I have a Ray 54 and had no idea. I sure think I set it correctly twice. I have had no luck finding out the baud rate for the gps input to the radio as I wanted to use it for some ham radio equipment. Local wise cant find a real tech person just sales people. One unit...

I don't have one for use on the boat but I did mount a camera in the flagpole holder for use on the road. A cable runs up to the towing vehicle and I have a surplus lcd monitor mounted on the dashboard. This lashup works ok but not great as the camera was no prize but is color and the image is...

It is one pretty one. Went by the factory in Kent today and they had just done a test of a new Ranger21EC and sure is pretty with a red hull, white trim, smokestack and a bright light on top of the house. One sharp looking boat so if you ordered one you will be real pleased as its a looker...

I enjoy the ais map of Puget Sound Wa on live.aisparser.com with the usual http stuff in front of it. I think someone on this forum posted it some time back. I have tried to get the maps to pull down to the Columbia river with no luck but does Seattle area just fine. Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

If you get up to EQ marine and the state park at the pass, then you are close to the ferry to the San Juan islands and could at least take a walk on mini tour as the ferry stops at several islands and returns back to the mainland. State has the roads to the ferry terminal well marked. Don't...
