    Ranger 27 Swim Ladder

    Hello, Is the swim ladder screwed in or bolted to the swim platform? Mine needs to be replaced, it is very rusty, and I am wondering if I need to access the top of the swim platform under the raptor deck to get at nuts for bolts? Thank you Colin Walsh

    I'm installing a 9.9 kicker on my 2020 Ranger Tug R-23. I noted on another thread the option of tapping into the main fuel tank through the water seperator. But I note that at the engine there is a T-connecror (for lack of a better term it's actually more like an H) with one end capped. Can a...
