I don't think he or she is angry, it was just letting them know who is in charge out there. That's what I like about The Great Lakes, the main thing I look out for when I go out is bad weather. And if you are watchful, you can see it coming before it does something like that to you.

Maybe a loose wire.

For me it was mostly a safety issue, crawling around on my hands and knees on my deck in 2ft waves on Lake Erie is no fun. As you well know.

I was the clam cleat, when the bow went down, I pulled in the road, when it came up I held it in place on the bow rail, that was the easy part. After the anchor was freed, then came the fun part, hopping over the windshield while hanging on to the anchor line, reaching around the arch and then...

:)Enjoy the ride. Enjoy the want. And welcome to the forum.

I do not believe that there is anyone here that has done a make over to their girl to the extent that I have. My advice is. If you are not going to keep her forever. Don't Do It! You are changing the original appearance of her, and whoever you will sell her to will be able to tell, plus you will...

If I need to get on her bow, in rough seas, I will go through her hatch.

That was not paint. My guess is it is a wrap that let go.

For me it has a dual purpose, #1 it has lengthen my agility to still boat alone, which I do 90% of the time. #2 And for safety, I don't hop over the windshield like I did 30 yrs ago. Lol I also added an electrical winch to my arsonal to allow me to be able to retrieve my girl, I think she has...

That is why I went electric, push a button and it goes down, push a button and it comes up.:)

To obtain maximum holding power of your anchor, the total anchor rode should be 4 to 7 times the depth of the water you will be anchoring in. No matter what you drop down, if it is not taking a bite you will drag it along the bottom when there is wind and waves. If you pull a fluke style from...

Probably was the right thing to do. It will look nicer than a repair, and help to keep the value up

I am cresting 2,000 hrs. and have never had an issue with my 1985 alpha 1 slipping. You have to engage them quickly, or they will chatter.

It is an exit for something, my guess is the bilge pump, mine and Dan's are close to the water line.

Sorry about the color choice, I knew it was either blue or purple. the black wire you seen was a ground wire. If wired to neg. ground, the wire will be black on cars and boats, at least this is what I have always found. Sounds like there is loose connection somewhere. maybe the fuse or a broken...

You also, good luck, keep us posted.

I believe the purple wire is for the lights. And they are pig tailed together. So there is only one wire that feeds all of them.

Dan you and I basically have the same outfit. Many years ago I had a the same situation with my trim gauges. First mark (take a photo) of the settings on the trim gauges, then take them apart and clean them, get all the old grease out, you may even see a little water in them, if so this may be...

It sure did, now we carry the mini version in our pocket. And people can't take their eyes off of it. It seems no one knows how to carry on a conversation, because they are looking down at that little bube tube. In years to come they will wonder why they have trouble trying to lift their heads...

Can you imagine the a guy standing there and saying I think I will put a road on this wall. Or to be politically correct it could have been a gal.:)
