Damage control and monster waves

I'm running with the Trigger Maru Mod only. I had a deck gun damaged and was running along on the surface. I assigned some crew to the damage control team and clicked the "damage control" button. The deck gun said "repair time: 13 minutes". Hours later it still said "13 minutes". The gun was in the queue and the damage control team button was pressed. Why wouldn't it get repaired? If I remember correctly, if it's unrepairable at sea, it says so. Any ideas?

Also, since installing TM, every encounter occurs inside the Storm of the Century. Waves hundreds of feet high prevent me from seeing more than a brief glimpse of target ships. All of the tutorial videos I've watched take place in glassy-calm ponds. I can't just whip out an AOB and ship ID in a few seconds when I can barely see the ships at all. For those with TM experience, is this standard or have I just had unlucky conditions? Does it make a difference how close to shore I am?

Also-also, since installing TM, my center crosshair is missing. In some tutorials I see people using the stadimeter and lining up the center crosshair with the target's waterline before checking the mast height-I can't do this in TM since there is no center crosshair. However, in some videos they don't seem to care and skip right to the mast height check. Is lining up on the waterline necessary?

Thanks in advance!
