I wanted to show you exactly how a boat anchor behaves on the sea floor. I found a nice popular anchorage where the tide had gone out, exposing the same sandy bottom that the boats in the distance are anchoring in, so we can see exactly what is going on, without the sea being in the way. If you measure the distance from the bow roller to the seabed at high tide, and pay out at least five times that much chain, which is known as 5:1 scope, the anchor should untangle itself and reset in most situations.

Needing comments from anyone who can actually help with this. Bought a Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 from Facebook Marketplace. Have tried to get it to work powered by a TCBWorth 48v 135a LFP AND a series bank of 12v 75a lead acids. I made the setting changes but same result. I’ve also run the enumeration process which completes but shows 0 batteries which is clearly another problem. Both battery scenarios run with multimeter readings within the motor’s range. Again, please help if you can to save me from having wasted $1,200 and another big expense on an ePropulsion Navy or Spirit as I need SOMETHING for my dinghy while aboard Sol Seeker and Seeking Sol Seeker when back home.
