Carey--- You need to show these people your amazing shore power and fresh water hookup that works on any dock, anywhere. regardless of whether the dock is provided with power and water or not. It took a true stroke of genius to come up with the concept and if you weren't so damned lazy you could be making millions with it. Every boater in the world would want one of these so as to have 30 amp groundpower and fresh water at any dock, anywhere, anytime. You know how many people at Sucia come up and ask to use your power or water when you have the unit set up over there. Now multiply that by the number of boaters on the planet. You would make Bill Gates look like an apple seller on a corner during the Depression.

I hear you, but West Marine calls it an Anchor Elbow. Who am I to criticize what someone else stores in their anchor locker.*

MarinI'll have to do that photo session next time we go to Sucia. It must be seen in all it's glory.
When our forum friends see it, they will no longer question why I am resisting the addition of a gen set on my boat.

JenniferYou had me at "Your boat sure is pretty Carey".*
Actually, I have to say that Tom White must be right on this one. Must have been a brief moment of dislexia on behalf of the surveyor.

Hey guys - I've had a thought - no quips now, I do have them occasionally - could the anchor elbow thingy be the shiney (meant to be polished) bow protector some vessels have there just under the sprit? Nordys spring to mind. Do you have one of those Pineapplegirl? If so maybe that needs a bit of spit and polish. If not my idea's cactus. It came to me when I thought of how some people wear jackets with leather protectors over the point of wear at the elbow...waddayathink...?
