Anybody experienced their keypad turning on the livewell or bilge pumps or all the lights coming on by themselves ? Or the Stop button blinking and not able to turn the power completely off? Gremlins?

I currently have my 4th Ranger and the 2013 model is by far the worst for electrical problems. I have had more problems with it than all of the rest combined. You can purchase any new and most used cars and have the gauges work properly. The speedometer and water pressure gauges are extremely unreliable. This is a common problem and have been unable to get it resolved with any Ranger dealer. They state that it is a common and unfixable problem. This was not a problem with any of my previous Ranger boats.

Out of curiosity, do you guys wire in all your accessories and graphs to the starting battery? And leave the trolling motor batteries un-encumbered / just trolling motor and on board charging system ???? Thanks

I don't have a Ranger but I connect everything to the starting battery except charger leads and trolling motor leads. Starting battery gets charged as you run the big motor. Trolling motor batteries do not. Also less likelyhood of trolling motor interference with other electronics.
