Rear Anchor

[twisters6]

Just wondering what everyone uses for a rear anchor when they are parked at the sand bar so the boat doesn't swing around on them.

Thanks

You could do that too, I guess. I just don't want sharp stuff that can rust in my boat.

On our lake everyone uses pvc pipe anchors made from 2-1/4” PVC made with a “T” connector on top and then a couple of 6” legs out of the T. The main leg is 4’ long with a 45° slash cut into the bottom to make it easier to start into the sand. You just twist and push it down a couple of feet to set it, and we use one on either side of the boat, in a diagonal fashion. I.e. port front and starboard rear. Works perfect and cost about $10 to make.

No need for the augers, they are completely unnecessary IMO. So easy anybody can make them. Just use the proper pvc primer and glue so they stay together.

Like this but without the augers.

Sandbar, what's that?!

Kidding, obviously I know what a sandbar is, but it's not a thing around here. Our big lakes are all shale, so rocky shoreline. no beaching. no sandbars. but awesomely clear water!

Each area requires unique methods. I use a dog spike that doesn't always work because of rocks underneath the sand. I will use rocks which are usually nicely piled by others from previous tie ups. When I do dive rescue the rear anchor is a much smaller anchor and is as simple as a coffee can with concrete. A mushroom anchor to keep the back end from swinging around is all you should need.
