Tank capacities — where the figures come from
-
Fuel 75 gal
“Fuel Capacity 75 gals. 284 ltrs” — brochure (2010), cdn.prod.website-files.com · “Fuel Capacity 75 gals. 284 ltrs” — brochure (2009), trawlersmidwest.comRanger Tugs' own 2010 spec sheet, on the builder's past-model page for the R-25 Classic, and the 2009 sheet hosted by a dealer agree; the gallon and litre figures match.
-
Water unknown
“Water Capacity 30 gals. 37.9 ltrs” — brochure (2010), cdn.prod.website-files.com · “Water Capacity 30 gals. 37.9 ltrs” — brochure (2009), trawlersmidwest.com · “37.9 ltrs (litre column of the same line)” — brochure, cdn.prod.website-files.com · “37.9 ltrs (litre column of the same line)” — brochure, trawlersmidwest.comThe builder's 2009 and 2010 spec sheets contradict themselves: the gallon column says 30 gal of water, but the litre column's 37.9 L is 10 gal. No second source for the inboard R-25 was found (the builder's owner's manual today is for the later outboard boat), so no figure is shown.
-
Holding unknown
“Holding tank Capacity 30 gals. 28.4 ltrs” — brochure (2010), cdn.prod.website-files.com · “Holding tank Capacity 30 gals. 28.4 ltrs” — brochure (2009), trawlersmidwest.com · “28.4 ltrs (litre column of the same line)” — brochure, cdn.prod.website-files.com · “28.4 ltrs (litre column of the same line)” — brochure, trawlersmidwest.comThe builder's 2009 and 2010 spec sheets contradict themselves: the gallon column says 30 gal of holding, but the litre column's 28.4 L is 7.5 gal. No second source for the inboard R-25 was found (the builder's owner's manual today is for the later outboard boat), so no figure is shown.
-
Water heater 6 gal · standard
“Standard Equipment ... Hotwater tank, 6 gallon” — builder (2010), cdn.prod.website-files.com · “Hotwater tank, 6 gallon” — builder (2009), trawlersmidwest.comBuilder 2009 and 2010 R-25 spec sheets list a 6 gal hot water tank as standard; heating method not stated (30 A/115 V shore power is standard).
Tanks are often replaced or added on older boats — check the tank labels or a survey for yours.
Thrusters and steering — where this comes from
-
Bow thruster standard
“Thrusters, Bow and Stern (STD 2009)” — builder (2009), trawlersmidwest.com · “Thrusters, Bow and Stern (standard equipment)” — builder (2010), cdn.prod.website-files.comBuilder spec sheets list bow and stern thrusters as standard for 2009 (marked STD 2009) and 2010. That tag suggests they weren't standard on 2007-08 boats, though a 2008 owner reports having both, so 2007-08 boats aren't confirmed.Side-Power — A Ranger Tugs staff member on the owners' forum says the factory installed Side-Power thrusters on these boats; an owner of a 2009 R25 reports Side-Power units.“We installed sidepower thruster on our boats back then.” — owners' association (2008-2009), tugnuts.com
-
Stern thruster standard
“Thrusters, Bow and Stern (STD 2009)” — builder (2009), trawlersmidwest.com · “Thrusters, Bow and Stern (standard equipment)” — builder (2010), cdn.prod.website-files.comStandard from 2009 according to builder spec sheets; 2007-08 boats aren't confirmed.Side-Power — Same forum statement as the bow unit.“We installed sidepower thruster on our boats back then.” — owners' association (2008-2009), tugnuts.com
-
Steering unknown
Neither the 2009 nor the 2010 builder spec sheet names the steering system, and the builder's online R25 manual (for today's outboard model) doesn't cover it. The sister R-29 Classic manual lists Ultraflex steering, but that is a different model.
Thrusters and steering are often replaced — check the units on your boat before ordering parts.
Sources disagree on water tank, holding tank — left blank rather than guessed.
Thin record. Owners report the 110 hp Yanmar was standard on most R-25s built in 2007 and early 2008, with larger Cummins engines offered from late 2008. With the Yanmar the boat cruises 8-10 knots and tops out near 14 knots. The current Ranger Tugs R-25 is a different, outboard-powered boat; its specs do not apply to the inboard R-25.
