Welcome to the site snowman. There should be a small hole located under the bow that allows the anchor storage to drain. It may have become clogged with some debris. You might also do a search on the site using the search menu link above to find other posts where this has been addressed. Someone may have drilled a slightly larger hole but I"m not sure and wouldn't want to do it myself till getting some other input. Check with your dealer or posting a question in the "Tech Talk" forum will get the attention of Dick Cabble at Merritt Marine in Hillsborough, NC. Dick and Carl Merritt know more about these boats than anyone I've met.
