    Any idea on how to get the anchor to self launch?

    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...

    Any idea on how to get the anchor to self launch?

    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...

    Any idea on how to get the anchor to self launch?

    Took a tip from a previous member and mounted two disc style zincs on the anchor "wings." West Marine code of R3 is on them. Had to drill 5/8" holes for the bolts and buy extra bolt and stainless nut. No problems deploying the anchor now. ALWAYS have a problem on the retrieve getting the fat...

    Does anyone have the Big Boy 34' ???

    No, not the 34. You mentioned the 28 - I bought one new in 2010 - LOVE IT! Had a 2320 for two years, when I heard the 2820 could be fitted with a bow thruster, not much could stop me from making the change happen! Lucky that I could. Twin Yamaha 250's & the thruster make parking at the...

    2820 FM Antenna Options

    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...
