what size and pitch?

thank you so no need to panic

here is the one i got for my 2320 i used the chart for sizing and went stainless for the bling i use the heck out of i in sand and mud hard and soft and its always held. http://www.anchoring.com/stainless-stee ... 7qdfsd03t2 i got the 16lber

thank you guys
