View Full Version : What size anchor?
What size anchor will I need for a 3.6mt punt, that with all casting decks, and 15hp merc 2guys could (but would struggle to) lift.
I just bought a 4lb one, It looks an ok size, what do you guys think? Sean :)

Hey Sean,
4lbs is a bit marginal, shackle a coupla metres of 5/16 gal chain
on it and it should hold up ok...
Yeah, I was going to add chain, I might take it back and upgrade to a 6 pounder...any thoughts? It will all have some chain, Sean :)

get a few metres of chain and you should be sweet with the 4lber

just a a 8 pound anchor and 2 meter 8mm chain. Long chains are heavy to lift. I have that setup on my 4.85 meter boat. and it's works fine. when i go offshore i chain the achor for a pick on the same line and it holds fine.
i can't see myself lifting 4 meters of chain.
well thats my opinion
