Two questions: Is there a place to tie into to lock up boat? If you wanted to use an anchor what type would be suggested?

There is an eye bolt on the bow that could be used to tie the boat to lock it. Not sure about an anchor, it's not a very heavy boat and has weight limit of 425lbs, so I wouldn't suggest a very heavy one. We just got the boat and have had it out once, we really like it, seems stable and not too heavy to move around. Hope this helps.

There are tabs with holes at the base meant to screw it down to the boat hull. Epoxy might work, you would have to be careful not to clog the water intake holes.

There are a couple of tie downs on the float. It actually ships with an "anchor" that's really just a ~3 gallon canvas bag with a draw string at the top. You load it up with rocks/stuff that sinks in water and attach it via rope. It works fairly well if you have enough rocks and the wind isn't blowing ridiculously.

I have one of those screw in anchors. Works great for all day beach stays. The umbrella starts straight up and there's no worries about it moving. I then simply tilt the umbrella to block the sun as it moves. The anchor keeps the umbrella nice and sturdy and especially with wind. I always worry I'll be out in the water when the wind blows and with my luck it would impale someone. :0/ I tie off the guy lines to 2.5lb weights because I'm that anal...but the tie downs and the anchor are sufficient. I'm buying a second one for this summer to tie together and create a 'tent' of sorts....

the clamps on oar locks are adjustable. it's that little peg that should fit in a 'socket' on your boat.now if i could just get tires on my trailer changed out, i'd be good to go.

I use a 10# fluke anchor on a 15' whaler type boat with very thin 1/8" nylon line. works great. Love it. But I am only on lakes . It's made to be use with line no larger than 1/2" . It's just a simple cam lock system like something used on a sailboat. It should work fine.

I might mention , I put my anchor at the front and I also put the up down switch on the front of my pontoon too, I am glad I did as it sometimes comes up dirty with mud, I can see it and drop/lift it a couple times until it cleans then put it all the way up into the holder. I has hung a couple times too and you can see it as you are retrieving it and stop or start it as it happens. Overall "we" love it. worth the money if it lasts.

They are intended to be mounted that way - I'd use a stud finder and connect the brackets directly to those. I suppose that a hollow wall anchor might be able to support the kayak if you used a 50 pounder, but I wouldn't expect that to hold up to a lot of taking the kayak on and off the mounts.

Not sure why not. The load stop option gives a higher side support, but that can be a barrier if your boat has lots of tumblehome.

It's a little hard to string the rope through the bottom loops while the boats in the water, I added some aluminum hooks on the boat just above the water to string the provided tie downs through. I could never make it tight enough without those added loops

the two 24 'anchors were for use with a 16' deep v boat. you might want a larger size depending on the type of water and wind conditions you encounter. They are for drifting and I usually only need one. the second is used when the wind is almost too much for my boat. I fish mostly open lakes in the plains states.

I would say anything is possible but we anchor ours to a fence. There are othee ways to anchor as well if you would like to move yours around the yard.

Anchors may work if you aren't going to hang anything very heavy on it. I would try to find studs or maybe hang it on the back of a door.

We bought a simple 3 rod holder on line and zip tied it to the wire frame next to the motor mount. Worked great. One rod holder comes with the boat that can be mounted on either side to the oar railing

The best thing is to get good anchors. I actually used the anchors for dogs. The type that screw into the ground and then I used nylon straps, the kind that's used to secure loads or to tie down motorcycles in pick up trucks.

do you have it attached with the anchors? are the anchors tight enough? Where did you buy it? Send it back if it is not tight enough.

I would stick with their apocation guide. Mine are a pain as well but after trying one that was looser I would stick with tight. The loose one blew off and I got a lot more bugs in he boat during storage.
