Thank you Antidote - My dealer said that Lewmar advises/recommends/prefers you use their anchor rode made specifically for their windlasses. Since I have a Lewmar Profish 700, recommended size for my 2820 is 1/2 (says ok for boats up to 35'). Going with the 8-plait, have not been happy with...
Thanks Antidote. What size rope do you have? I have a 2820 and it has 5/8" 3-strand (I think 300ft). Discovered some issues in the line Sunday - need to replace it. Wondering if I can use 9/16" - local store has enough in stock, thinking of getting 400ft or so (seems like there would be...

I have a 2820 with factory installed MB Quart stereo. The FM radio reception is very poor - both at the dock and offshore here in Mass. Bay. Behind the dash, found a cable connected to the control box antenna socket that becomes a thin flat two wire running back aft between the dash and the...
