    2018 Ranger Tugs R23 6YC tank calibration override?

    I had to replace the 6YC Yamaha display / control unit on our 2018 Ranger Tug R23 (outboard). Because it is a new unit, I need to do an initial set-up, however, in order to calibrate the gas tank levels, it wants me to start with an empty tank and as gas is added at 15 gal intervals, it is set...

    R23 power pole?

    Any thoughts of using a pontoon mount to bolt through the rear pod on the port side to mount a powerpole for use when at the sandbar? Is the structural integrity there for it? I assume so since people put kickers there, but figured id ask.

    I have your TT140 bow thruster. Recently when moving the toggle control, the 200A fuse blows. I replaced the fuse, and blows again. The propeller in the thruster tunnel cannot be turned by hand. Is this indicative of a failed gear box on the thruster or a failed solenoid? The TT140 is 4...

    Hi, Our boat’s solar panel meter charge light does not go on. Our batteries are fine and the meter seems to show power being produced and being distributed to the batteries. When I test the system, it shows no faults. Does no green charge light mean it is not working correctly? Any ideas or...

    Downrigger Prewired for R23

    I can see in the cave fuse block there are two fuses marked for downriggers. Can you tell me if wires have already been pre-run and coiled somewhere below the deck? I don’t see anything that jumps out at me.
