Alex the area that we frequently anchor in is a soft mud grassy bottom.Very shallow depth between 4 to 5 Ft.I normally put out around one hundred Ft of anchor line or more if the wind is up.I am trying to figure out if the plow anchor is the wrong anchor for this type of bottom.I have considered changeing over to a Danforth style anchor however that type of anchor will not fit in my anchor roller.Hopeing adding chain will resovle my holding issue.Thanks Steve
Your scope is only roughly 7:
Depth 5 ft, + draft ft, + height bow to water 5 ft ~ 15 ft
15 x 7 = 105 ft.
Perhaps more scope will do the job.
