I use on of these 13# fluke anchors.Hi Guys, when I purchased by 240 SD it was very light on chandlery - no ropes, fenders and anchor chain etc
The Anchor I have has a a few problems ( I’m being kind ) first it’s the wrong type, it’s folding Grapnel with just 2 claws rather than 4, it has no chain and it weighs about the 2 small bags of sugar, so great if I owned a 8 ft Rib
I need a plough type anchor as I’m looking to moor up on a sandy bottom, and of course I need to add a decent length of chain but, there is always a but ! The anchor locker has a limit to its size, and therefore the size of anchor.... Two questions - does anyone know the dimensions of the anchor locker and secondly what size anchor in weight are you running ?

Next issue, the anchor hatch when I opened it up had a gallon or two of water in the bottom, but the drain to the bilge is just above the level of the water, odd !
Of course I will clear the water out at some point but I’m confused as to why the drain point is so high & where did that water really come from ?
Hi,
So here is where I think I might be going wrong, sorry the boat is 90 miles away so I can’t check !
I can’t see the bottom of the anchor locker where the water is, I suspect there is a drain hole at the bottom that is blocked. The drain I see on the right of the locker, just above the water, is a drain into the anchor chain locker rather than a drain out ( if that makes sense ) I think it may come from drinks holder ! ?
BTW Thanks for all the help & guidance as ever....
Congrats on the new-to-you boat. Issues like this can drive you crazy.Hi:
I'm a new owner of an older (2002) 240 SD. I have an issue that is rather perplexing. I have dual batteries located below the triangular cushion on the aft port side.I assume this is the correct location for them. The problem is that I am getting water in the battery trays after rain storms. It doesn't appear wet around the batteries and the tops of the batteries appear dry. I assume it is coming in around the cushion but I can't prove it. So far it hasn't been a problem just a mystery.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Thanks
Ike
