Welcome to the forum. I would try contacting John… https://www.c-brats.com/members/johnrmarshall22.3334/

Bob is spot on here... see how the ring on this particular anchor is designed to slide up to the crown when you pull the opposite direction if it's stuck? Good stuff! 😉👍

The guys above are on point. I found this helpful and very informative… It talks about RV’s, not boats, but all the info seems rock solid to me and applies to towing universally.

SO happy for you Joe! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Looking forward to some C-farer adventures my friend, ocean and inland. C-farer can do it all. Joe left out the fact that his new boat was garaged for the first 12 years of it's life; what a gem to find, right?! And we'll keep questing...

This is pretty basic... but consider ditching your (probably expired) flares for a handheld/floating electronic strobe light that qualifies under USCG Regs as a night VDS (Visual Distress Signal). They usually also come with a daytime VDS being the large orange sheet with the black ball & square...

Good luck hunting one! If you need a hand with the move south, I’d be interested in helping.
