Mantus vs. Box anchor

kjkam · 08-23-2018, 01:27 PM

I bought a mantus 2lb dinghy anchor to test out as a stern anchor, found it to work fantastic, I have it on 50' of what is essentially a ski line, can easily throw it the length of the line, have had it work fantastic setting very fast in a sandy bottom, held the stern of a 28' with a 15mph broad side wind without issue. I would bet an 8lb one would be sufficient as a day anchor for most boats up to 32' or 10,000lbs, even though it is rated for far less
