Anchor Essentials: The Anchoring System
More Than an Anchor
Identifying the proper anchor size for a boat is not a perfect science. Boat type, boating conditions, and amount of rode and rope used, among other factors, all contribute to the ideal anchor for a given situation. An anchor is but one part of an anchoring system.
The Anchor Line
The anchor line is a crucial part of the system. Its stretchy, elastic characteristics prevent any destructive jerking from damaging the anchor system when waves push or pull on your boat. Both 3-strand twisted and braided nylon ropes do a great job.
The Lead Chain
The lead chain is also an important part of the anchoring system because it adds weight to the shank of the anchor, providing a better dig or bite into the bottom. These lead chains usually come in galvanized steel or stainless steel, but are also available with a vinyl coating to prevent damage to your vessel.
Shackles & Swivels
Other anchoring accessories can also support the system. Shackles allow the anchor system to take on more loads from a variety of directions. They are composed of sturdy materials like galvanized steel. Swivels alleviate the potential damage of twisting and turning from the boat's movement.

Light weight and holds 19' correct craft very well, even in choppy water.

I have tried several heavier anchors and they are hard to pull up with our electric anchor retriever. This one holds the 22 ft pontoon boat with ease better than the bell types

This is one of the most popular anchors and it is easy to toss and retrieve. It stores perfectly in my bow.

I have not used it yet, but it will work better in swift current than my mushroom anchor. It looks well made for the price.

Bought the anchor, haven't used it yet. Seems to be sturdy enough and it was a great price.

Perfect for our 18ft bowrider, but would be for 25' as well in choppy waters. Obviously good for sand and preferable in most temporary mooring situations.

Works great and the coating helps prevent scratches on your boat.

Fits perfectly in the Seadoo Switch anchor compartment... 1/3 the cost of an original seadoo anchor!

Good quality and have used all summer. Even had to order a second one because my rope detached from boat and I lost the 1st one

Works great on a 16' 6" boat. I was on rough water a couple times and it held the boat in position. Very satisfied.
