| I am doing a light restoration over the winter of a 1988 Ranger 680c with same year 90hp Merc. I am looking for a few parts as follows:
1) Good condition "rosewood" dash plate (or the info for some one who can restore the original one as it is very faded.)
2.) All the dash switches including the adjustable livewell timer nob switch
3.) OEM Ranger style guages - water PSI, oil pressure, tach, speedo, perhaps trim/tilt
4.) Livewell and baitwell pumps
5.) Chrome grab rails for port and starboard side (or I could re-chrome the current scratched ones but I am thinking that might be more expensive than just buying replacements.)
6.) Port side rear rubber trim piece. (Previous owner had a kicker on the boat and the black rubber trim piece that goes between the outboard and the corner of the boat on the back port side is mangled up. I'd like to replace it.)
7.) Newer Humminbird locator/GPS for helm if anyone is looking to upgrade out of a few year old unit.
8.) I have considered repowering up to a newer Merc 115 ideally a Pro XS but would consider any model if the price and condition of the engine is right.
Finally, does anyone know if Ranger or perhaps another source sells only the leather hides for their new seats? What I'd like to do is buy just the hides and then have an auto / boat upholster stitch up the new hides in the original diamond pattern of the 88 - 92 era. So, the seats would be new but the pattern would still fit the era of the boat.
Please PM me if you have any of the above or leads to where I might find - especially the Ranger specific pieces. Any advice you guys might have re: the above would also be appreciated. Thanks very much. I appreciate it.

| Congrats on a beautiful boat. I have done some work on my '88 680t. I understand if you are looking for used parts to save money, but you can call Ranger with your RNG # that should be on the starboard side of the transom and they will be able to set you up. I ordered a seat and it came with the diamond stitching already done. Give them a call and they will take care of you. It isn't cheap, but it is very well done. | |

Hey I replaced the wind shields on my 619 with the new 2012 taller version. The ones I replaced are not broke and are in good shape. From your photo they appear to be the same. Let me know if you are interested. | |

| Great. I will call Ranger with my VIN. Also, the windshield I have (although short) is in good condition. Thanks very much. | |
