Anchoring a pontoon!

#1 Post by TerriF » Mon Jul 19, 2010 10:15 am

We are new owners of a 21 foot suntracker fishin barge. It came with a Minn Kota Deckhand anchoring system. We are having trouble finding the steel shot to fill it with. Does anyone have a suggestion on where to find the steel shots. The manual says to use a #6 through #9 steel shot.

Thank You

It's the same stuff used in reloading shotgun shells.
