What to check before you buy a used Anchor
- Locate the HIN (hull identification number) on the transom to determine the model year and production date.
- Check whether the HIN matches campaign 940200T, 950118T, or 950119T to determine if the boat falls within the affected range.
- Request proof of remedy completion from the seller, such as a dealer service record or USCG certification.
- If remedy status is unknown, contact a qualified marine mechanic to inspect fuel fill fittings and electrical terminals for signs of the original defect.
