Bruce calculated:
 
>>A 7933 weighs approximately 140 kg. Its full dimensions are 82.5 cm h x
>>55.2 cm w x 83.4cm d. This means that the volume of the drive is
>>approximately .38 m^3 and would therefore displace water with a mass of
>>about 380 kg. In short, the damn thing might float.
 
Much of the displacement you mention is consumed by empty space, filled
with nothing more than air.  To make an effective anchor of a 7933, you
must first perform an AIRPURGE.
