How to size an anchor?

#1 Post by BigDaddy » Wed Jun 27, 2012 4:05 pm

I have a 22' Tracker and a 20lb mushroom....It doesn't hold squat....How do you size a anchor to hold on a rocky bottom. I alread lost one in the rocks....guessing it got lodged between 2 rocks and I couldnt pull it free. Any help would be appreciated.

Get a slip ring anchor with 8 ft of epoxy coated chain. Prob about twenty lbs. if it gets stuck you can get it to release by driving in the opposite direction. Never lost one yet.
