the beach itself makes a difference- some are softer than other's

Just so happens i'm picking up a box anchor Saturday, i'm tired of not getting my anchors to set! Here's the deal on the box anchor, it uses a 2:1 scope at a 45 degree angle so if your in more then 25' of water the anchor buddy is not going to work with it. Slide Anchor also told me to use 3/8" rope as well. I can't speak for that. Newty what rope are you using on yours?

I never beach my boat. And when I have to get it close to the shore line. I walk it in.

Razz I think its 3/8".
I don't use less unless its dock line and only when I'm in sight of it.
I think its ridiculous that people tie up 40k+ boats with crap line. doesn't make any sense.
PWI as usual...

I use a Danforth anchor, five feet of chain, 100' of 3/8" nylon rope and an anchor buddy. The 100' of rope will usually cover the whole length from the anchor to the front and back of boat and to the shore. I'll put a bumper on the rope when I take off and when I return I do a U turn and pick up the rope next to the driver and then tie off.

I'm a firm believer in the Richter anchor. Have had a few of them now and think they are the bomb. about 70 bucks.
I think sand in the impellor is a non issue. My lift is in very shallow water. I churn up tonnes of sand every time I drive on and off my lift. After the first year I changed my impellor and you couldn't tell the difference between the old one and new one. Now I did go through 3 cooling hoses so I've added a strainer and have had zero issues since.

We just got to the inboard level. It is taking some getting use to. We don't take the boat anywhere near the shore. I was worried about messing up the prop, rudder or even breaking off the fins on the bottom. I am still trying to learn everything.
