I am buying an AIRHEAD AHCI-1 Cool Island. It has 2 tie down points welded to the side for anchoring. Do I need 2 anchors? I am going to use it at the cabin on a lake.

I have and old town canoe 146 saranac... 15 ft. in heavy wind i suggest 2 anchors lake winds can be heavy at times.. The best bet is to dock it with gun wall bumpers on the port side at a dock iof you have one? if that,s were the cleats are welded,, This a damn good anchor once dug in the bottom,,,, One anchor dose fine unless there are heavy heavy winds on the lake... but its your call as to were your going , I recently went to Grand Tetons Lake WY. lake 2 anchors i used.......

I would not recommend this anchor for the Cool Island. This anchor is perfect for anchoring my float tube. The cool island quite a bit larger than a float tube and allows for multiple people to be on it at any given time. There are several heavier duty anchors that would be more appropriate for your intended usage.

I probably would use two especially if you waant it to remain set as a floating island that you can swim out to and use as a resting platform. I would also use a bit heavier anchors also as this anchor is probably not going to be heavy enough to keep it stable and from floating off in a wind or with a bit of waves from passing motorized boats.

I don't even use a anchor. I purchased some thin rope at tractor supply...tied it around a tree...made a loop big enough for my battle rope. Spent 5 $

i got to tell you the set i bought came with a Small any were anchor, but the true is you need the larger one if you going to work out using the any were anchor, the small one does not work on a lot of stuff, do not let this stop you from buying the set, mine are one year old i use then 5 -8 time a week in live excised with Blake Kassel, they are still holding up great, if you need the large one bit the bullet and just buy one you will not be sorry

You have alot of weight there(ski) and if the wind is blowing? If anchor can hook up with something on the bottom you might be good to go or stay. Have Fun

I only use two with my ATV but I also put put a safety chain on the front end just in case something ever failed. I did not like the lag bolts they included so I bolted right through the trailer floor to a bolt plate - the straps are very strong and nothing has moved with just two. If you go with four you will also have to drive up 4 little ramps to load and unload - which means you have to be perfectly aligned.

Hi Beverly,The anchor should hold very well as long as the bottom of the lake isn't too thick with weeds.I have a 29 ft powerboat and it holds it fine.

I have only needed to put bow / stern straps on ONCE with this rack. This was when I was on the interstate.

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

No it does not come with an anchor. A cinder block tied to a rope is inexpensive and works well.

My only concern are the tie down points. I wrap my tie downs around the support bar. The welded rings are probably fine, but the weak link in my opinion.

I don't have mine anchored. Before I added the slide and firemans pole I was on the fence so to speak about needing an anchor kit, but once I added in those two pieces it seemed a lot more sturdy. If you live in an area where there are tornadoes/ hurricanes then I would get an anchor kit.

It does come with anchors, he side anchors are very small. The opening height is about 6 ft. I made blocks to raise the tent to get more clearance.

I have actually made it out to Mokulua (Google it), islet 3/4 mile off Lanikai; also made the "Hilton Landing to Diamond Head" run and back (6 - 8 mile round trip, depending if you go around Diamond Head or not). You NEED the skeg, and some cooperation from currents, ESPECIALLY THE WIND. Bring a patch kit and prepare to anchor off if you have to (if you spring a leak), but I wouldn't suggest going too far out. Be mindful of the currents and really think to yourself, "can I make it back" after 2-3+ hours of paddling.

Yes. The anchors aren't a necessity. I lost them after a few months and have never missed them.

I think there are 6 anchors. I used it to secure a Harbor Freight tent garage. Works good, no problem in 2 years. I was amazed at how well the system drove the anchors into my rocky soil,

I just checked mine and the anchor screw holes are the same as you described. This appears to be the way it is designed. Al

Anchor bolts do not come with it. The best way to join two poles will depend on their type and size I joined two 5 foot poles using a coupler from the hardware store that seemed to work fine.
