I just can't see myself spending that kind of money on an anchor. Hate to tell you what my last anchor cost me.

That looks like a Rocna. Rocna.com I have never heard of a sexy anchor. But a S.S. one will get scratched up from being deployed. The sand and rocks will not keep it shinny. Just saying...

Look into Rocna anchors. They don't get any better!

I had the same problem when I had my Sig 290. I countersunk pilot holes in the cover and screwed it to the hull. It looked factor if when I was done. The way Chap had mine, they glued wooden blocks to the cover. Than used blind nuts on the block and than ran bolts though the hull to the nuts...

I had the same problem. The threads wear out the more the plug is taken out. I used a tap and used a bigger plug.

Come to Boston, 11 to 12 foot tides twice a day.

Thats where I want to take my boat too. More the Great Loop than the BVI.

I had the same problem. In my case the wheels were too high. I adjusted them lowering the wheels and cleaned them. Dirt was binding them up too.

If it was my boat. I would drill drain holes into the bilge and epoxy any wood or glass so water does not get into it. Easy and simple to do which you should have anyways. If its not rain water, than its water from running the boat. Yes? I would look at vents and drains as the boat is running...

You have not mentioning the wiring from the controller to the reverse cycle unit. Have you checked it? It could be just a connection? Or the wire/cable went bad? Too easy to do before calling someone down and paying big bucks.

If your looking for gas shocks, I would try a marine or RV store. Take the one with you too.

If you have a bow rider I would put in an extra bilge pump. They get swamped very easy. Chaps are mainly lake boats so I would use Predict Winds app for wave heights and wind.

With the engine/s running. You should have around 14.5 volts. Engine off, around 13.6 volts. Give or take 0.1 to 0.2V

You might want to look at this link. Most twin engine Alt are wired like the ones in this PDF. OR close to it as an ensample. https://www.balmar.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/SUP-0207-REV-E.pdf If nothing else its a good read. Keep in mind, that most bigger boats charge the house bank first...

I would need to see a pic of the Alt and its wiring.

Yes, Bravo 3s use Al in salt water. I hope you bottom paint and paint the outdrives.

You are going to use zinc or aluminum in salt water. I would call Boat Zincs.com for advise to your type of outdrive.

Did you try testing at the sender? Could it be the wiring from the sender to the gauge? I would use an ohms meter, I don't know the senders range but that could be found in its specs.

Oh!! You mentioned schematic, which is totally different than color code. Here is a link to the ABYC standards. https://www.electricaltechnology.org/2020/07/marine-boat-cable-wire-color-codes.html

When was the last time you changed the cap and rotor? If its over 3 years old, I would take it off and look inside.
