I have a 24ft tritoon, what weight anchor do I need? On a large lake (Lake Murray sc).

Depends on the wind/&/or current. In calm waters 15Lb would be the smallest I'd trust. Work up from there depending on conditions.

I built my own mount for about $15 using two conduit pipes and two pieces of wood, rope, and hose clamps. Works great, and been trolling the lakes for the last few weeks catching bass. Let me know if you want more info.

It does not come with an anchor, but there are hard plastic loops you can tie a rope to. You will probably need an anchor for this and it can definitely be anchored to the bottom of a lake for a while.

Yes, this will work in a lake. The anchors are small bags you load with rocks which you tie to the net. The materials are strong. Ours lasted the entire summer and is stored for use next season.

16"7". Add 4' to your anchor measurements (2" at each anchor point) for satisfactory installation. Rain and wind will relax (stretch) the sail and you will need to tighten it some. I hope this helps.

Go to the hardware store and look for a swivel hanger among the hooks and caribiners... not sure what they're technically called. Or a towing hook would work.You just want to make sure the hook is rated for over 100 pounds... the heavier duty the better as the users will be swinging and twisting on it.

I have a 15' jon boat and the 8 lb anchor worked fine for me. Of coarse if the winds exceed 30 mph then you may want to head back to shore! LOL!

I use mine for an 8lb mushroom anchor. Works great for that, sometimes I have to pull pretty hard if the anchor gets suctioned into some mud or sand or even wrapped up in vegetation. Something tells me you're looking for a heavier weight, but hopefully that's helpful to you.

Sorry, its at our place in ME and I'm in CT. It fit the anchor I bought but don't remember the size.

I would recommend a cart with a larger wheel base. Even with my kayak unloaded it can be a touch unstable on even normal terrain. A good cart but definitely would recommend a wider based cart for the sun fish

I use my Digger Anchor in the Columbia River in SE Washington state and at this location the river is flowing at about 5 to 8 mph. Parts of the river bottom are cobble stone and resemble an ancient Roman road. My Dansforth anchor would not hold but the Digger snapped my 23' boat to a stop. I would say that in a lake environment with no current and probably a less rocky bottom, the Digger anchor would be perfect. PS: If someone is not getting a Digger to set, they probably have not let out enough line to meet the correct slope. There's a reason my anchor rope is 140 feet.

Sure you can pull it with any type water craft, but why? Maybe just to relocate it and then anchor it. The intent of this vessel is a "PARTY ISLAND" not for "WHITE WATER RAFTING". My friends drift on the lake, wherever the wind and waves take them, then get in the water and swim/push it home when they've had enough sun. "CAUTION" a sea anchor/drogue on a short tether is a must, you definitely don't want the "ISLAND" moving faster than you can swim. Don't forget your PFDs.

If your lake is 16' wide it would work. You need some way to connect the 2 ends of the rope (i.e. anchor, buoy, trees).

I cant answer, i use one j hook per kayak. The straps are very long so the kayak model should not be an issue. I do not use the long straps. Gravity and the angle of the bend in the hook keep my tarpon 120 in place. Both my kayaks are 12 feet long and weigh 60-80 lbs depending on cargo. I am short 5'7 and i can lift them off the hooks easily.

I believe it will - I have an 18' bass buggy and fish on a lake that has a predominant south/southwest lake that I have not been able to conquer until I got Digger. Key is to keep it a distance from the boat as they specify - sometimes up to 20' away on a windy day with 10+ mph winds.

I don't know where you would mount it. I just ordered a couple telescoping oars to keep us en route on river float trips and paddle back into place on the lake. Three oars at thirty dollars is cheaper and easier than trying to mod a mount for your trolling motor. As taut as the float can get when inflated by an electric air pump, it still will not be rigid enough to provide the stability you will need.
