Anchoring

PROPELLER · 04-26-2005, 10:51 AM

I am considering replacing a damaged fluke anchor with a new plow anchor. I have read some reviews on the West Marine site & many like them but some said they had trouble setting in a soft bottom.

I would like to hear from anyone that has a plow style anchor & how it worked on Winni. I am not sure what the reviewers meant by soft but I would think sand is soft & sometimes that is what I anchor in. Many times its mud & I am sure sometimes rock.

It appears many of the new boats I see on Winni are equipped with a plow anchor.
