No raft expert here but I have used cement blocks, 2 to a chain and on at least 2 sides of the raft...this was on Winnisquam years ago and not really in an "open to the broads" location and the raft didn't move. My raft was in 12 ft of water as well. Tie a line to the chains and float a plastic jug over the winter to find the lines/chains in the Spring.
