What kind of anchor do you use?

Daniel, as Megabyte said you can work on it bit by bit.

If you can reach the places, you can do a good job in the water too.

I typically used bilge cleaner and boat soap in the bilge. This time I did the walls and the flooring in the driveway. I put the bilge plug in and used boat soap and Simple Green concentrate. The Simple Green did the bulk of the work. I used a short brush, long handle brush, sponge, and sponge with the scubbing backing for corners. I used some Spray Nine in a few spots though it is a sanitizer too and not as biodegradeable.

My main difference other than the variety of compounds used was to remove the debris much better.

During the summer the bilge always has bilge cleaner but as it breaks down material or as it breaks down, particles end up. I use a hand pump to get the water out but the particles can hide or be hard to reach. Other than a super dirty bilge, the particles left after cleaning can make a bilge be clean but not look clean.

Here is the Fortress anchor on the bow pulpit after launching the boat today.

Again, an FX-11 with 16 feet of chain, and this model is oversized for a 2530, as it is rated for 28-32 foot boats.

Megabyte, the other photo is the boat at the slip after the sun came back out the end of today. Was cold and windy up here.

Dana... I have that same Sony Sport radio.

Megabyte, I know. We put some new batteries in today.

It has a good sound, but at some point I'm going to try to decide what I want for an installed radio with its own antenna so I can get a station when I want to.

I run it from 110V when I'm on shore power. The CD player is good too.

Enjoy.
