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.

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.

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.

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).

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

The eleven foot rod says, "Line rating 8-25 pounds." I would assume the 12-foot would be very similar. If you want to use line heavier than 25 or 30 pound test, you probably should be looking at a heavier rod.

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 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.

I anchor mine with a rock. Keeps the device under the water. This is the second one I've had and we got 3-4 Maine winters out of the first one.Maine Sage

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 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.

my boat is a 24' center console and the anchor did not hold in a 15 mph wind even with 3 foot of chain

I contacted Scotty and received an email saying that the combination would work as long as you are not using an anchor over 15 pounds.

I use it for a 35 lb anchor. The box says up to 40 lb. The deckhand works great and the remote switch is a great addition.

I weighed my anchor on a digital scale and it weighed exactly 15.0 pounds. I bought this anchor to use in the Columbia River which has a flat rocky bottom that looks like an ancient Roman road. The Digger holds even on that flat rocky surface in a river current up to 6 mph.

I have a 10lb Mushroom Anchor for my two-man inflatable fishing boat and it works quite well. I would guess that a 15lb would be adequate for a row boat.

I run mine on a 24ft pontoon and it trolls great. You shouldn't have any problem.
