Will Ranger 520L/Mercury 250 4s clear 7 ft garage door

Post by NG »

Will a 2019 Ranger 520L boat/Mercury 250 4 stroke on a 10" jackplate and 17" rims on the trailer fit under a 7 foot tall garage door that has a driveway with a medium incline? Dealer told me the motor height from flat ground is 6'-8", but with the incline up the driveway, I'm not so sure it will work now.

Anyone have real-life case like this and made it work? I may be picking up this boat on Monday, so need input asap!
If you have a similar rig and in the south Sacramento area, I'm willing to pay you to see if your boat will clear my garage door.

Thanks.

I had a 2019 Z521c w/ Merc 250 XS 4s similar condition medium upslope with 6’9” opening.It was a tight fit motor had to be trimmed as low as possible.Although I never had to lower the jackplate I left it on position 4 per the dash mounted gauge.It will work you just have to be cautious whenever parking it in the garage. Hope this helps…

Im running a TR21X with a 250 Verado with a 7ft tall opening and my driveway is on a incline. I have to trim it down a couple times to get it in but its not that big a deal. Fits just fine.
