To start the boat does the physical key have to be in the "on position" much like a car in the accessory position?
This is the process for me;
key to on
energize the system with my key fob
push button to start

The key that starts the boat doesn't have to be in the ignition in any position.
Press fob, push to start.

That doesn’t seem true with mine. I need to have mine in the middle position to be able to do anything. I also need to have my ride system turned on to work the trim switch back at the motor. ???? The ride system is a Lowrance product soooooo… I just hope its waterproof.
Thats odd, I can trim at motor and paddles with RIDE off. When my main power is on I can trim, raise plate, start motor and all buttons work.
It seemed like mine was like that too when i first got it, now it’s not. It only has 8hrs on it so I’m just getting use to it.
Mine is having issues, I was able to get it to start just using the remote .
They said the keys are for backup.
After a hard bumpy ride yesterday, it would no longer start with just the remote.
The start button would not turn blue when I turned on with the remote.
So I had to use the key to get home.
This ride system seems to be crap to me.

Veryspeedy, get your boat to the dealer and tell them to get on the phone with a lady named Veronica with Ranger. She has no idea how much she improved my life. She knows the RIDE system inside and out. Was telling me all kinds of stuff on the phone and I was impressed how detailed she was. Great resource for Ranger.
Quick side question: what source does the RIDE system pull its Engine data from - RPM, Temp, Trim etc ?

Engine info is sourced from Merc VesselView Link. It is mounted behind the console graph.
