Tank cracked when I tried to remove fuel pickup.

I'm starting a new thread to continue the discussion that begins with B~C's comment about half-way down this page. http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t= ... c&start=15 B~C discusses a method that involves attaching the anchor chain to the crown of the anchor instead of the end of the shank...

Thanks for the alert. Yes, I went with chain and rode type/size that Lewmar recommended.

Thanks everyone! I just ordered 275' 1/2" 8-plait, 50' 1/4" galv. chain, and a 5/16" SS shackle from Dark Horse Marine.

My all-time favorite knot from Boy Scout days. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Bob!

So, to be clear, when at anchor... If on the chain only, the chain is attached somehow (chainhook on a short line) to a cleat to take the load off the windlass, and additionally, snubbers are attached to the chain with a chain plate and then tied off to cleats on the deck. If on the rode, the...

Thank you all! I ordered the bow roller that Colby recommended.

That all fits in the CD22 anchor locker with no problems?

Thanks, I didn't even know what that was. All hardware has been removed from the deck now and all holes filled in so I'm starting from scratch. Is that chain stopper necessary to hold the anchor when running or trailering? Can the tension provided by the windlass serve the same purpose, or...

Correct. And if you want the newer charts you can buy them and swap them out and still save $700 (at least spring 2023 prices) over buying one with the newer maps already loaded.

I’ve learned a lot about Garmin displays recently and thought I would share the fruits of my research. I’m dividing this into two posts – “Consider buying an outdated Garmin MFD display” and “Who knew Garmin MFD displays could do this?” This is the second of the two posts. Because I’m starting...

I'm just now outfitting my stripped to the hull 22' Cruiser and wondering how much chain and rode I should buy. I have a Lewmar H700 windlass and will be following the Lewmar recommendations for rode and chain diameter/size, but I don't know how much of each I should buy. The boat will be used...

I'd like advice on what sort of anchor roller/retrieval system I should use on my 22' Cruiser. This is a restoration project starting from a bare hull so I can basically do anything I want at this point. I've purchased a Rocna 13# anchor and Lewmar H700 windlass. What do you suggest for an...

After some distractions I’m back at work restoring my 22 Cruiser. I’m currently in the process of mounting a Lewmar H700 windlass. Prior to this I’ve replaced a section of the deck that was damaged when the anchor roller was ripped off. When doing that work I decided to delete the deck pipe hole...

Be careful when considering the purchase of flexible panels. This video is five years old, but is well worth watching to the end. Also, you can click on his profile to see all his videos and then search for "flexible" to see some more recent tests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onMZ_dRSFUs&t=205s

This is a new product so no history yet, but small size and not so spendy as some of the others. https://compocloset.com

The van life phenomenon has created a huge market for portable toilets and lots of subsequent reviews. This guy does a very good job of comparing what’s out there for boondockers, both of composting and non-composting toilets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l88ylbUSqbE
