Anchor??

[Pipeliner07]

Hey guys just curious on what kind of anchor you would recommend for my new helix and what weight

^^^ I'll never own a different kind of anchor than this. Sooooo much better than the typical danforth anchor and requires way less rope to be let out. I've never had to reset a slide/box anchor once I've thrown it overboard.

They look a little bulky do you guys stow them on the boat all the time or just when you're going to Anchor

I use the above anchor as well, especially after my danforth was bent and the boat was released across the cove. Luckily I was standing on tg out the back as my boat went floating by. Scary as hell.

Bit of a wind storm and it bent it until it released. I even had a stern anchor but it wasn't set as deep as the bow.

The box anchor above folds in half making it easier to stow, I also have a nice half heavy mesh and plastic bag to stow it in so it doesn't scratch anything.

I have 2. I keep one in the boat with a 30' stretch line and buoy all the time. The second I take with me as a spare when I go to Powell (I've lost quite a few anchors over the years). It is a little bulky but stores just fine under the center bow filler seat or in the under seat storage.

Ok thanks for all information think I'm going to try the folding box anchor and see how it works

You should always have an anchor available.

I have the digger anchor. Never have an issue setting that thing. Holds great. I can usually set it by just throwing out and pulling back. Sometime use the reverse method too. Fits perfect in the nose under the seat.

Love my box anchor. it really doesn't take up much space at all. mine is under one of my bow seats. I think honestly, it takes up about as much space as a life vest and it has a nice storage bag.
