I have an 18 foot boat and have an 8 lb anchor. I would go with the next weight up.

That depends on where your are using it. Size is more decided by river, or lake current, type of boat. I have a 24 foot cuddy on the niagra river. My primary anchor is a 25 pound. My secondary is a 16. I use them together.

I would say that depends. This anchor will suffice on a rocky bottom, but may not set on certain bottom types and a 24 ft boat could pull this off. My boat is also 24 ft, and I find using two anchors generally works best - one hook anchor and one river anchor. I have them tied together in a "V" with about 4 ft. of chain, then tied to my anchor line. They kind of fight each other and ensure that my anchors are always set. Even two of these would work, but on sandy bottoms they just won't set (which is why I use a river anchor as my second).

You will need a concrete slab or a concrete stem wall to anchor base. We poured a concrete slab that was 4 inches wider and 4 inches longer than the overall dimensions.

Yes,I have a 24 foot heavy four winns and this is the only anchor that holds in the Sac. Delta with with strong currents.

I have a 20lb anchor on 17 ft pontoon. I do not recall what manual recommends

Yes, I believe mine was a 24-26 foot and it even covered my motor. If you don't have the pvc arches they are a must if outside nit covered. Great for the price. Had plenty of webbing with it.

A 16 gauge is good for up to 25'. Use 12 gauge for longer length. Make sure the connections are tight or snugged.

I just bought mine at Home Depot. They come with the plastic anchors and work very well. Be sure to get the right size.

I think that the 24" is for a 12 to 14 ft boat and you would need a 30" to 36" for a 18 ft boat.

You need the 4 footer. The tie-down needs to be at least few inches longer than the distance from boat to trailer to allow you to attach the hooks and pull the strap tight. It doesn't hurt anything to have a longer strap than you need. I fold the extra strap and tuck it under the velcro. You could also cut the extra length and burn the end to prevent it from unraveling. Either way, its better to have more than not enough.

I would suggest the 18 to 20 foot cover. I bought the 20 to 22 foot cover to go over my 20 foot deep v hull with 2 foot high wind shields. It covers the whole boat plus outboard and trolling motor with room to spare.

It should be more than long enough, I have it mounted on a 20 foot Lowe fishing pontoon boat and it works great!!!

I would only purchase a mushroom anchor if limited by the potential "abrasive" material used by an inflatable boat. If you have an inflatable 10 foot boat, I would go with a 15 lb mushroom anchor. The ten will only work in waters with little to no current. If you are fishing in the ocean in any kind of current with a mushroom anchor, the 15 lb will still probably not be enough depending on the bottom and the conditions. If you do not have an inflatable boat go with a more traditional anchor that "digs" into the bottom.

14 feet long and 5 1/2 feet wide. It is more than I need. I fish where there are pretty strong tides and everything does what it is supposed to do. I'd hate to think of fishing without it, now. I don't even really need an anchor with the spot lock. If you have a Humminbird depth finder in the 700 seriesa or above, get the I-Pilot link and you can run the thing with the depth finder. It was not available when I got mine and I didn't realize they wouldn't link up until after i bought it. But, with that, it's as close to magic as anything can be.

They handel my 30 lb river boat anchor just fine it attached to 14' x 7' flat bottem river boat

I have 2 of them and they are both the 15LB. model.I purchased one and liked the holding power they offer and the feature where the weeds can easily be shed from them by giving the anchor line a quick jerk which my more expensive Danforth anchors don't offer so I purchased a second one.I use these anchors on my 29 Ft powerboat.One I set off the bow and the other I set off the stern.The Digger company does offer a 10 and 12LB. model so if your boat is smaller you may want to consider them.

A 10# mushroom anchor should be more than enough unless used in high wind conditions. Even a 5# weight would suffice in non wind and non current conditions.
