weight of the anchor and the diameter of the anchor line. A
burying anchor grips into the bottom and holds your boat
secure. Holding power should be more important than
weight. Your dealer can help you select the proper
anchoring equipment.
The length of the anchor line should be six to eight times
the depth of the water to assure that the anchor bites into
the bottom. The bottom end of the anchor line should be
galvanized chain. The rest of the line should be nylon
anchor line.
Keep anchor secure while underway to prevent damage or
injury if boat’s attitude changes suddenly. If your boat has
a power winch, do not use it as the primary source for
securing the anchor or anchor line. See the power winch
instruction manual for details about proper operation and
maintenance.
These are some general guidelines for anchoring your
boat:
• Secure the anchor line to the deck cleat. Do not tie line
to hardware not designed to support this stress.
• If you are anchoring for more than a few hours, use
more than one anchor. If you use only one anchor,
make sure your boat has enough space to swing full
circle in case of shifting winds.
• Keep the anchor and line in an area where it will be
readily available in an emergency.
