Anchoring
• Pull on the line to make sure the anchor is holding.
• Occasionally check your position against the shoreline. If the
anchor is dragging and you are drifting, reset the anchor.
Weighing (Pulling In) Anchor
Start the engine and move forward until the anchor line is straight
up and down. Pull hard to lift the anchor from the bottom material.
If the anchor is caught on the bottom, attach a line to the bow cleat
so that it is taut. The up and down motion of the bow from wave
action may lift the anchor from the bottom. If the anchor remains
caught, let out a few more feet of line and attach it to the bow cleat.
Slowly maneuver the boat around the anchor until the anchor pulls
loose. Be sure to keep the line tight during this procedure.
