2016 Ranger Tug (Blue)

[Beyond R27]

I have a small scratch in my hull from a dock error. Is there a patch kit for my boat I can purchase?

How bad a scratch? I found that using a bit of clear coat that you can buy at and auto parts store hides scratches well.

Hello,

Depending on how deep the scratch is you may not need any gel-coat or a lot. You can order gel-coat from us via parts@rangertugs.com, you may also want to talk to a local repair shop to see what your options are before ordering gel-coat. Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Scratch repair is covered in the spring maintenance “as the prop turns” webinar. Part 2, if memory serves.

For the age of your boat I would not purchase factory gelcoat. I did that in 2017 for a 2014 boat going thru the factory and the blue I got did not match. Worse yet it deteriorated to the point that this year I had to have the yard where I store it paint over the factory gelcoat I use to fix the scratches.

I would ask around and find a good gelcoat repair shop. They are normally very good at matching the color and providing a very good fix.

By the way Midnight blue paint from Awlgrip is almost a perfect match for my 2014 Hull.
