GREAT TIPS FOR YOUR ANCHOR

Storage: We recommend stowing the anchor away while not in use.  A commercial shrimp /
crab basket makes a great place to put the anchor, rope, and chain.  A basket will also keep
the mud to a minimum and is easy to move around boat.

Chain:  For rough conditions we recommend 4-6 ft of 3/8 galvanized or stainless chain.  
Make sure the chain is secure to the rope end and anchor using a shackle.

Knot: The very best knot for tying the rope to the anchor is a bowline.  It's easy quick and
won't fail if tied right.

Rode: The Coast Guard recommends a 7 to 1 ratio. You can get buy with a 4/1 with our
anchor, but in rough conditions always use more rode.

Rope: A braided nylon rope will out perform 3 strand twist rope.  We recomend at least 3/8
inch diameter.
