what weight of anchor

The description says up to a 32 pound river anchor at 80 fpm.But don't count on it going that fast. This is a slow down slow up winch. Would not recommend for river fishing or if you need to drop anchor fast. Plus on long retrieves it tends to shut down because the motor over heats so you are drifting for a minute until it kicks back on.

I would not buy one if they still have the cheap china motors on them.The company changed the motors and they pick up real slow compared to the old ones.Make sure you can send it back.I have a 20lb anchor on my old one.

If you are throwing the anchor out off the bow, make sure it doesn't land sideways. My boat is 23.5 ft. and weighs over 4000 lbs and the anchor when used properly holds really well.

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

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.

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

I only used it to hang a Real Estate sign on a property I was selling, so obviously minimum weight. However, I would say probably not more than 10-15 pounds safely. Also, the anchorage system is going to be very important in the weight used before it would pull away from the wall. In other words the diameter and depth of bolts used and is it fastened into lead anchors or just right into a wood frame.

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

I have a 28ft tritoon I/O that wights about 6,000lbs empty. My digger holds in stiff wind. Make sure you are following the directions. Specifically, be sure to let out 2.5 times the depth in rope. This give the anchor a chance to dig at the correct angle. The angle of your anchor line is probably too steep.

Just wondering why you're using an anchor for a belly boat? Because, we don't. We want to move around the lake in a slow pace. Anyway, the belly boat can hold your weight of 160lb + the 5 lb anchor + other fishing tools, &/or gadgets you'll bring into the water.

26 lbs must be a typo. The anchor itself is just over 3 lbs, plus bag and rope, so 4.5 lbs is closer to correct .

You use the back tether, just not the lower anchors. The weight limit refers to the lower anchors.

I have used all of mine. So I don't have one to weigh. But they do seem to be a little heavier than my regular bolts. Sorry.

Not sure what your calling moderately heavy anchor. We have a 14' Klamath with I believe a six pound mushroom anchor, and it has no problem pulling it loaded with weeds. It meets our expatiation's and then some. Hope this helps.

It includes some U anchors that you pound into the ground. Not heavy at all.

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.

There is another Wingit anchor that uses two 3/4 inch vertical holes that still supports 600 pounds. I assume you found the stud after you drilled the 1 1/4 hole you may be able to move the bar over enough to use these and cover the hole. I don't have the part number but it is available on Amazon

I would anchor... It's heavy but not heavy enough for 40mph winds or greater...
