I just picked one up the other day. I like the idea of it. Its definitly heavy though at 19lbs, but it seems it might be easier to store and handle. nice without a chain too. I am just using it for a secondary anchor for the stern.
I'll chime in here. My first pic on the forum of her. I dont have many pictures of her and its not a good one, but here she is.
The boot is a little snug, but what i do and there are probably better ideas, but i use the straps that clip by the front windsheild and I wrap that around the top tightly and then clip it to itself. This way it kind of holds itself wrapped up together a bit.
Well i have tried to use the box anchor twice so far with disappointing results. The first time i used the anchor was by the Barnegat inlet where we anchor by the shore. We went on a friday so i wanted to anchor out and back up to the shore then use the box anchor for the stern to keep the aft close to the beach as possible. Its a sandy bottom, but the current was so strong that the anchor didnt hold boat where i wanted it. As i was pulling the anchor in I was just so surprised at how easy it was to drag the anchor across the sand. I started with 100ft of rope and it wouldnt hold, I was a little dissappointed.
