Just bought this 276BR and need to know a few things. It came with the factory aluminum ARCH and can the arch tow a tube? multi person tubes? wake boarder? skier? appears a rope can be attached where the anchor light is on top of arch. the rear speaker do not work on the stern seating area, what should i check first and where? what are all the acc rocker switches for? they just say ACC on them. factory radio only works with key on position is this normal, it seems it would run the engine hours up?
the front anchor on the windlass is pretty small and the river we visit has a strong current what is the recommend size for this boat? can i put a bigger anchor on? what type of anchor works best for sandy bottoms and using windlass?

Radio with ignition key on: yes, it's normal. It will not run the engine's hour meter. It <might> sometimes run the hour meter on the Faria tach if that's what you have.
The ACC switches are spare switches that are usually not connected to anything (unless a past owner connected something).
Do not tow any tubes by the arch. Skiers, boarders etc are fine with the arch.
Use the stern tow eye down at the swim platform for tubes.
Our factory windlass & Lewmar Delta anchor worked perfect in sandy bottoms & stiff current. Believe that boat had at least 30ft of chain rode to start with....
As far as ACC switches & speakers - 13+ year old boat. Just start picking away at it. Almost for sure have to start replacing stereo components if it's all still factory install stuff.
I love my delta plow anchor for the mud in our lakes. I've never had a drag even with less than optimal scope.
We used to pull double tubers and double knee boarders behind our 150hp 17ft bass/ski boat. Great times, I have a feeling you won't have any issue doing that.
Post some pics of the new boat!
