I want to replace my original year 2005 anchor rode. How much and what size chain and line did the boat come with from the factory? Thanks!

We just bought a 10" foam mattress with a gel top and flared it at the head end. Cut it to pattern with an electric carving knife. Tonite will be the first time sleeping on it.
I resolved this problem. I disconnected and re-tested the batteries and they were both on the line between good and weak. I replaced them both and the port engine starts right up.
On earlier posts I had detailed about removing the original defunct DVD player from above the Microwave in the galley.
I opted to not install another DVD player since it seems like even the one at home we hardly use.
I decided instead to convert the space where the DVD used to be to a spot where people can charge their iPhones and iPads as well as where they can plug in their iPhone or iPad to display the contents on the fold down TV in the salon. This will allow us to pre-download movies and TV shows from Amazon Prime or Netflix and then play them on the boat.
Here here is a link to the USB charger outlet I bought from Amazon:

And here is a link to the adapter that allows you to play movies from your iPhone or iPad on the galley TV:

Here is a pic of the charger I added so that people can plug their phones in to charge. It runs off of 12V which means it will work even if I do not have the generator running:

Hey @villain style - How did sleeping on the new mattress go? Did it feel alot different than the old one?
Can you share a little more information. Where did you buy the mattress and how much was it? Where / what type of electric knife did you buy?
Thanks! I am intrigued by your approach.

Oh, and speaking of working in that area......in case anyone now or in the future is interested, I had an accumulation of fresh water wetting the carpet in the aft stateroom. I searched high and low in and around all compartments back there but no plumbing lines to the aft head were leaking. After many hours and ripped up hands and elbows I finally discovered that behind the ceiling panel inside the cabinet above the microwave is the attachment of the windshield spritzer tube to the starboard wiper, which had jiggled loose at some point. Drip, drip, drip....
WOW! Great find. I'm curious do the wipers get their water supply from the water tank or dock hose feed or both? I wanna check mine now!
Blueone - mine is not caulked at the bottom and any water runs out right there.When it rains ..water collects in this dip or transition. Do you guys have the same problem? If so were you able to stop it?

This is the same for the 410DA guys...The wipers are fed from a solenoid tee'd into the supply for the cockpit sink, just under the sink faucet.

Guys, my bowthruster light on the button (Vetus) no longer works. Anyone have any idea if these can be changed?
thanks in advance!
Positive the little green light doesn’t light up anymore. The thrusters work fine, but the light no longer illuminatesAre you positive it doesn't work? Don't want to make any assumptions, but you need to touch the thruster button twice to turn it on and keep it on. It will also auto turn off after some period of time.
