I didn't want to hijack the other thread so I made a part 2. I also have a issue with a 12 receptacle not working. It's in a 2000 290 DA. I have 2 receptacles, one at the helm and one under the stereo in cabin. The cabin is the one that isn't working. It's labeled 590 and I've traced the wire...
So yesterday my genny sucked up some seaweed. I heard the sound change in the exhaust and shut it down right away. After cleaning the stainer I went to restart it and it will only run for 2 or 2 seconds. I have good water flow, impellar is fine. Oil level is full.

Thanks, Russ.
So I'm reading the manual on my windless and it says to secure anchor to cleat and not windless when deployed. Do you guys use a jumper or how do you attach cleat to anchor chain? My first 100' is chain and I often anchor in 12' of water w/a tight scope. Any help would be great.
