I’ve always made my own, it’s easy to do at a fraction of the cost.

Forgot the anchor was out once, took off and my SIL was sitting next to me decided to get herself a drink and got up at 45mph and as I started to give her #$^% for getting up at that speed the anchor popped out of the water and landed in the seat she was sitting in. Disaster averted

@SST wasn’t there a story around you current flag pole that made it special to you? Don’t recall the specifics but I thought there was something.

I highly recommend BoatBuckle G2 tie down strap. Also take a look at the transom tie down straps also. https://www.wholesalemarine.com/boatbuckle-retractable-ratchet-bow-tie-down/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwpb6g_3A4wIVDNvACh0TEQcDEAQYCCABEgI9hvD_BwE

What did you buy?

Welcome

I have a pair of house batteries on the port side and a starting battery on the starboard side. But I have a Merc and you have a Volvo.

Bad ground wire?

Like @Hatem I have basically the same boat and with a full tank of water I list to the port. I always assumed because when I was noticing it all people were in the water and it was because the wetbar, water tank and head were on the port side.

I bought a pair several years ago and for the little bit of towing that I do they work just fine and do not vibrate. Also it takes less than a minute to install. The biggest problem was with the Admiral “helping” to adjust the passenger side mirror the first time I used them.

Excellent! Is that the first time you had the opportunity to open her up like that?

No I have the 496 Mag which I think is 375 HP also and yes the Eisenglass will slow you down due to the resistance. No bad for a MercCrapper

I was out yesterday and it was glass so I opened her up and hit 44 MPH @ 4430 RPM but that was with all the Eisenglass up and a full tank of gas and water. In years past typically get 48-49 MPH out of her and once even 51 but I was running downhill I suspect.
