GETTING TO KNOW AND HANDLE YOUR RANGER
BOAT…
Your Ranger dealer should see that you have selected the proper
horsepower engine for the rating range of the boat model you have
chosen. The proper engine mounting height has been selected for
optimum performance and the correct propeller has been chosen.
Since most boats spend more time on the trailer than in the water, a

trailer can extend the useful life of your new boat. The load
MUST be evenly distributed on the properly fitting “bunks” or “pads” of the
trailer. The boat should not rest on the loading rollers, but should properly
cradle on the bunks.
Always park your rig so that the trailer tongue is higher than the stern
of the boat, so that any water can drain from the hull when the drain plug
is removed. All livewell valves should be placed in the “empty” position to
properly drain your livewell plumbing.
A properly fitted boat cover will protect your investment from the
damaging effects of the ultraviolet rays of sunlight, as well as from road
film, rain and dirt abrasion while trailering. The cover also protects your
accessory equipment and fishing tackle from “prying eyes” and helps to
guard against pilferage.
Familiarize yourself with the instruments and indicators used with all
installed equipment. Factory equipment manuals are included to assist
you to properly operate your trolling motor; depth finders; engine
tachometer; speedometer; and any additional accessories that you have
installed. Naturally this Ranger manual is only complete when you have
completely studied your engine operating manual and are familiar with
engine operation.
Now you are ready for a ride in your new boat! This will be an exciting,
fun experience if you exercise the proper caution and observe all safety
rules and regulations.
Before launching your boat… stop on the ramp short of the water. Stop
your vehicle’s engine and set the parking brake. At the rear of the boat,
install your transom drain plug and remove the trailering tie-downs,
trailering arms, motor supports and/or support brackets. Slowly back the

Failure to store/park your rig with the bow
elevated could allow rain water to
accumulate in the storage boxes.
