Dropping and Weighing Anchor
Maneuver the boat over the spot where the
anchor is to be lowered, keeping in mind the
wind, current and scope (length of the
anchor line). A good gauge for the amount of
scope is a length 6 to 7 times the depth of
the water anchored in. For example, you are
in 10 feet (3 m) of water, so use
approximately 60 to 70 feet (18 to 21 m)
scope.
Have a crew member on the bow carefully
lower the anchor. When the anchor is on the
bottom, keep slight tension on the line.
Maneuver the boat backward slowly until the
proper scope has been fed out. Fasten the
line around the bow cleat. Anchor flukes
should dig in and hold.
Watch for anchor drag by observing
shoreline landmarks at the time the anchor
is dropped and one-half hour later. If the
reference marks have moved, the anchor is
dragging and must be reset.
The end of the anchor line should be
attached to a mooring cleat. When the line is
coiled, it should be done neatly and each
coil put around or on top of the previous coil
so the line can be fed out smoothly when
anchoring.
To weigh (pull in) anchor , it is recommended
to have the engines running. Pull in the
scope until the line is vertical. Pull hard to lift
the anchor’s shank and free the flukes from
the bottom material.

If the anchor is stuck, attach the vertical, taut
line to the bow cleat. Wave action on the
bow may lift flukes from the bottom. If the
anchor is still stuck, feed out a few feet of
line and attach it to bow cleat. Maneuver the
boat around the anchor, keeping the line
tight. Find an angle that will pull the anchor
loose.
If your boat is equipped with a windlass , use
the same procedures as above but refer to
the manufacturer’s instructions on the
operation of the windlass. Always remember
to relieve the load on the windlass when
anchored. Use a bridle attached to a cleat or
attach the line directly to a cleat.
