Bowrider anchor. Elevated helm and windscreen so you can drive offshore while standing up. In addition to making it easier to manually weigh an anchor they are essential for boats that are equipped with a windlass since they guide the anchor rode to the windlass gypsy and keep the chain from gouging the hull and deck. Got a question on anchoring.

Weve all seen how to anchor a boat in cartoons or in movies. I understand that these are to be installed with a backing plate on the underside. The stock is made to fold flat against the shank for easy storage making these ideal for smaller craft.

Omitting knock-offs the Delta late 1980s is the last of the old generation although a modern anchor it is still a plow and therefore effectively just an improved CQR. By pulling up on the marker like the anchor of the bowrider usually pulls backwards and is freed. Rear transom door and boarding ladder.

This is also helpful if your anchor gets lodged in a hole and will not pull up in the normal manner. Deluxe swivelling and sliding helm chairs with lift-up bolsters. Be sure to stop the boat completely before you deploy the anchor.

Fold-down cockpit side seats. Using two anchors one fore and one aft will hold the boat perpendicular to the current allowing all on board to let their lines drift down current. It is essentially the same idea.

There are a number of boat anchors available constructed of different materials and often with confusing names. There is an alternative to the power pole and that is the stay put anchor. An anchor of the right size and type is arguably the most important piece of safety equipment to have on your boat.
