Isn't that the point of a chain lead and setting scope correctly? So your anchor only "sees" horizontal forces? (And the reason we need to let out more line as the tide rises, cause it's moving the boat up.) The derating on holding power for incorrect scope is pretty nasty.

I was most worried about breaking the eye on the top of the anchor if you get an anchor that can hold 1500lbs and try to attach a M925 to it.

I asked Lewmar (They make Delta Anchors) if they have a size to holding force table. They sent me an "anchor size" to "Foot of boat length" table, but not quite what I was looking for. I'm sure they have it, but the question is can I find someone customer facing who has it.

Looks like a ~40lb anchor can pull between 1,500 and 5,000 lbs. http://newcontent.westmarine.com/content/documents/pdfs/WestAdvisor/2006-Anchor-Tests.pdf Hmmm.... Need to see how the 80lb versions did.

Meh. There're a LOT of people who make up rules, laws, and interrupt contracts based on either how they wish things worked or in a manner that makes sense to them. (Or a manner that Hollywood has convinced them is true.) I tend to take one pass at education, then flip the ignore bit and move...

Ouch. Missed the MI in your location. Well, good luck.

Keep in mind... other dude at fault. He owes making you whole. Involving your insurance is a convince factor for you. In the end, its on him and his co.

Yup, been doing this for about 4 months. Works great.

Beyond fuel, I'd add a coolant filter.

Any 5/16 square handle will work. I've got garage door handles on mine. In all honesty, by the time I paid $33 for the handles & Allen screws, tried to paint the chrome, cut the too long shafts down to size, I wish I'd just paid the extra $30 and got the ones from TMG. Saved some money, and...

Not sure how accurate, but looks good. http://www.meshfactory.com/shop/catalog/product_info.php/m923a1-big-foot-us-nato-military-vehicles-p-952

Tritium is worth big money. And its use as a neutron booster means they need the power plants to keep making it.

What's the correct air line size (id) and length to hook between a couple of M939 trucks to flat tow and be able to use the brakes in the towed vehicle? Perhaps my search foo is bad, but...

That adapter doesn't look right. Looks too thin. Here's the Baldwin adapter:

I don't see this being anything other than a local story. It's over. No one on the West Coast that doesn't read this site cares or even noticed. It's not going to get picked up and make national news. The old dude who went for a run from the cops in his deuce got more press, and what happened...

Block wall doesn't have much strength to it from a side impact.

The dump truck is usually an asset where the owner isn't making money if the wheels aren't turning.

Unfired. I've found at least 1/2 a gallon of blanks (fired and unfired) and expended brass (live) in the back of the cab. And since one side still has a U bolt from where and LWS would go, who knows...

Just make sure they're wider than the space between the rears. Or have a really long pry bar handy.
