I sent a short note yesterday morning to Randy Hopper (Pres. of Ranger) telling him how much I like my new Z20.....and I had a question also regarding "bow lift" and the fact that I thought the 520's nose would rise higher than my Z's.....wanted to know if it was just an illusion or if there WAS a difference. Less than an hour later I got a reply back,...from Randy, and he said he was going to have their chief engineer call me back and answer any addt'l question I might have regarding set-up and performance. (I am not the least bit unhappy with it now,...it runs GREAT,...just wanted to know about the bow lift)
Anyway,..I got a call about 130pm from the engineer,...he asked me which prop I was running and how many batteries I have, as well as my current top end (I said, "3-blade 25P, 3 batteries, and 68mph GPS, with 5hrs to go for complete break-in") He then asked me if I had a jack plate or not...."No,...I don't" He said,..."Who is your dealer??" I told him where I took delivery and he told me,..."I am going to send you a 10" setback plate,..no charge,...and you can have the dealer install it,...you will gain 1-2mph top end,..and you'll get all the bow lift you need!!....is that okay?" Unreal,....Mini and I can put the jack plate on ourselves with a little help from some "sources" who have a motor lift and the req'd wrenches and I'll have a PRIMO rig. I didn't even ask for anything or expect anything (other than an answer) and they're sending me a free jack plate......now THAT is customer service above and beyond!!
