    Upgrade to AGM/electrical system

    I am the owner of a 2013 RangerTug (R29). I am replacing the starter, thruster (both Universal UB121100 group 30H) and two (4D) house batteries. I am considering AGM for all. Is there anything I need to know or would need to do to the electrical system if I go this route? Thanks in advance...

    Ignition Light Stays Faintly on After DC-DC Charger Installation

    Hello! I recently converted to a lithium set up and when I start my engine (180 hp IB Yanmar), the ignition light remains on faintly. I installed a 50 amp dc-dc charger and have been told that perhaps I need to install a second or possibly even a third dc-dc charger to correct the problem...

    Possible that negative solar is on thruster bank R27?

    2024 R27 NW I’ve installed a Victron shunt and moved every negative from the house bank over to a bus. What I did not find on the house negative, however, was the solar negative, despite what I believe is the solar positive being connected on the positive side of the house bank. Looking deeper...

    Holding tank gauge not reading

    Is there a fuse for the Tecma gauge that shows the holding tank level? Is there a different, or more common reason for the gauge not registering a level? Thanks.

    Does the factory have an all in - absolutely everything from the tip of the most forward protrusion on the bow swim step to the rearward edge of the fenders that are attached to the rear swinstep of an R29?

    House Battery Amp Hours

    My Victron battery monitor does not show 100% even when the shore power cable is plugged in and the solar panel is working. It tends to show 98.6% to 99.8% but never 100%. I'd like to check the settings on my Victron app to configure appropriately. Our 2024 R-27 has two Lithium batteries in...

    Pairing remote for thrusters

    I recently bought a 2023 Ranger Tug 31CB, lux edition. I replaced the battery in the thruster remote, but I can't see how to pair it. Side power talks about a white button on a black box, but I can't find that on my boat. Where is it??
