Anchor's aweigh

[dvolkman]

Just curious how heavy an anchor people are using with their 350's. Our boat came with a 25lb. danforth. Are people using heavier?

We have a 35 pound Fast Set with 100 ft 5/16 chain and 100 ft 5/8 strand. Holds well and works well with the windlass.

I have a 33 lb Bruce or manta anchor with 50 feet of chain ahead of the rhode. To me, it's more about the length of the chain than the size anchor. My secondary anchor is a Fortress aluminum anchor with 35 feet of chain. I've never moved on either of these, when set properly.
