Yes, I figured that I just did not have the right size.
My new M2 MacBook Pro arrives tomorrow, and since I ordered a new one, old one is working fine after the recovery installation of the OS. (it figures :rolleyes: )
Would that be Clearwater FL? It looks like they do custom work and don't have any retail distribution to speak of.
If I go a buy-new route, I'll reach out to Cruisers Yacht Tech Support for any guidance, Just a matter of finding a good fit for the boat. I have a critical dimension of 25"...
I was wondering if the shank will be weakened by straightening it. Also, this anchor has a 3/8" thick shank, while I see others at 1/2" thickness.
I am wondering if this anchor is a little sub-standard. :unsure:
These are the sharp edges that apparently cut the anchor rode as we were...
I had an anchor mishap today while anchoring at the local sand bar.
The shaft is bent and the rode frayed because the roller flange that the anchor & rode feed through had a sharp edge to it and eventually cut through the line and the bow anchor & chain went into the bottom

1990 engine, so it is the Mark IV version .
I’d say a fuel issue, given the amount of time it’s been unused. Fresh gas is one thing, a gummed up carburator is another
the knock retard values are much better, only going to 2.45˚ during acceleration/load conditions. Before it was pegging at 5˚ and activating the warning.
I was just reading in one of my many Mercury manuals that Vessel View has a ‘personality profile’ that gets loaded by the boat manufacturer giving the system the unique characteristics as deemed by the manufacture. The number of steering wheel turns lock-to-lock is part of the personality...
It turned out that the fuel pump kit was the wrong one. It seems that there are 2 very similar fuel pumps, but they are not exact. The parts list may have called out the wrong kit. :unsure: So, the day's plans were scrubbed.
I ordered an entire new fuel pump.
It does not seem like the manufacturer (Mercury, etc.) could have made this any more complicated. :unsure: My understanding from various Internet folk lore is that many Dealers/Service shops can't figure this stuff out.
All this "CAN" stuff makes my head hurt.
@dingbat . . . Based on your...
Just found some information on the Mercury GPS400 GPS antenna . . .
8M0091565 SmartCraft GPS Antenna 400
Superseded from Mercury part # 8M0079126
SmartCraft GPS Antenna (4.0.12SC) Used with SmartTow Pro SC1000 gauges, MercMonitors, and VesselViews 4 and 7.
Sends CAN H and CAN P GPS data for...
Not sure if this is related to the speedometer/GPS source issue, but . . .
I got a VesselView warning while coming back from a day on the boat . . . it turned out to be a 'Compass' warning of some sort, as if the 'compass' thinks we were lost. :unsure: The warning message said to see dealer...
I did find an installation drawing- there are a couple of GPS wires that are supposed to be connected. I’ll be checking those to see if that is the case.🤔
If I push the button enough times, I get to a “GPS speed” screen that says “NO DATA”. So maybe a GPS cable is not connected, but I’m not sure if SmartCraft works that way. 🤔
It’s part of the smartcraft system. So, assume it comes over the network cable.
here is the antenna (Mercury GPS400)
.
Not sure if there is a separate feed to the Speedo. I think it is all over the common network cable that connects to all the gauges.
