I have an opposite problem . . . my Admiral often tires to 'help' too much and gets in harms way.
My advice for your situation, tagging onto the advice already given . . .
- Trailer guides at the rear portion of the trailer, set a bit tight (maybe 1" on each side) to help center the boat...
Going to be at ‘home’ for the next couple of weeks. The good side of things is that it happened at the end of the day on our last boating day of a 3 week vacation 😀
Quick Update . . .
I put the issue out on the FB CY338 forum for input. One person responded that their anchor shank had been bent. Another responded that the bow roller edge have cut through the rode twice.
The guy that had the shank bent got his fix at a metal shop. . . was not much $$...
Today was a beach day, given that the boat is down an anchor. I spent some time looking through information on various delta anchors.
As best that I can tell the anchor I have has got the plow of a 33 lb anchor and the shank of an 18 lb anchor. So, not surprising that the shank bent.
I think...
well it is not the battery.
when the engine does not start, does it at least crank?
think about fuel, compress ion, ignition. You need all 3 to run, so the engine isn’t getting something
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

Thankfully...
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 . . .
