Moe, o yeah, the anchor and chain, and porta potty.... but not a lot of "load" there in the lower tank usually.... do batteries and cables really weigh that much, i guess so, i have about the equivalent of at least 5 lengths of gauge #4 about 15' each. so 4,000 lbs. sounds close. the new bathroom scales give readings at the tongue's ball cup of 270#, so that is in the range of the suggestion, but for a lighter loaded boat.
