Running
When anchoring, it is helpful to keep a few guidelines in mind.
●
Make sure the line is tied to
the anchor and tie the other
end of the line to the forward
cleat or bow eye.
●
Head the boat into the wind or
current over the spot where
you want to lower the anchor.
● Stop the boat before lowering
the anchor.
● When the anchor hits bottom, slowly back up the boat, keeping tension
on the line. Let out an anchor line that is 4 to 6 times the depth of the
water. For example, if you are in 3 m (10 ft.) of water, let out 12 to 18 m
(40 to 60 ft.) of line.
● Secure anchor line to the bow cleat. Pull on line to make sure 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 engine and move forward until anchor line is straight up and down.
Pull hard to lift anchor from the bottom material.
If the anchor is stuck, attach anchor 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 stuck, 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.
