I have similar experience as SST. Never pump out the full amount. I always put back in the same amount that was taken out so not to accidentally overfill.

Oh, hell no! HATE snakes.

We normally use 303 but someone said that they've had better luck with Boat Juice. Anybody here have first hand experience with it...

I have wiring schematics at the end of my owners manual.

Assuming you verified full battery charge and battery in the "on" position - I would try the next steps to troubleshoot: Do you hear the solenoid when the trim switch is pressed? If not, then bad solenoid and or wire connections. Also, check fuses - on mine the panel is located by the dual...

I was able to search. The owners manual is available online - https://mnappsp.mercurymarine.com/mmliterature/pages/viewpdf.jsp?pdfpath=SERVICE%2FCRUISER%2FOWNER%2F02%2F864195023.PDF&name=GASOLINE%20ENGINES%20-%20STERNDRIVE%20MPI%20MODELS The service manual is not but you can purchase a printed...

Send me your SN and I can try for you.

I read that they believe the whale was actually chasing a school of fish and probably didn't even know the boat was there.

The website does not mention GPH, but top speed of 50 knots with a tank size of 951 gallons. At ~$5.00 a gallon that's a good fuel bill considering range is 300 nautical miles at cruising speed. https://www.pershing-yacht.com/en-us/Yachts/Model/p/6-284-425-PUB/n/Pershing-7X

Multitasking while on a conference call and came across the specs for the Pershing 7X. Gorgeous boat and was surprised to see that the cruising speed was 42 knots. Seems like a pretty high cruising speed for a boat that size. But I guess when you spend $4M - $5M...

Update - we went out Sunday and while fairly calm the new stern anchor worked fairly well. There were a couple things I could have done better but overall it served its purpose.

Thanks Denny. I'm leaning toward something like this...

We have a box anchor as our primary and it seems to work well in the muddy lake bottom. Though, between the weight of the box anchor (19lbs) and any clinging mud, I'm with you about the weight - especially after being on the water and in the sun for several hours. Getting old sucks, but it...

Thanks Doc. Yeah, we've entertained other coves but with the current lake levels at about 40% we are somewhat limited.

Breaker?

Curious what thoughts are regarding a stern anchor. The cove where we normally hang out is becoming more and more crowded and I'd like to get a stern anchor so that we don't swing back-and-forth. We wouldn't be using it for more than a few hours (2-4) and obviously will still be using the bow...
