what size anchor do i need for 24ft. boat ?

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).

Mine is a 24' & it worked out fine. I counted the screw holes that are in the image amazon has for the product. It had the same amount as my old one did & fit perfectly.

I bought a smaill trailer that is just the right size for the boat. It is a full four feet wide and needs to lie flat.

This was the right size for my 19 foot boat. It depends on how much you need to be able to walk it to the dock without getting into the water if you needed. I would go 30'.

I have 32sa and it would be perfect fit at 24 feet. The stream is far stronger then the 22SA

Inside diameter is 1 5/8". Should work for you if your outside diameter is 1 1/2". Anchor seems to be very stout & sturdy.

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 use mine on a 20 ft pontoon and it works well provided you have a long enough anchor rope. If the rope is almost vertical it will not work. Someone else suggests a length of chain on the anchor and that would work as well.

The bolt pattern on the anchor kit for this system is 7"x7". Thanks! Silverback

We use these mainly for slow trolling. usually 2 for a slow troll. As a drift anchor the 24 inch would be minimal, only enough the 'point' the boat. To slow a drift at least a 30 inch, preferably a 36 inch.

Beverly, These anchors are the best I have ever used for my pontoon 20.5 ft long, I do still on the rare occasion have my boat break loose in strong wind, If I were to purchase again, i would buy one size larger, but all in all a great anchor.

I have the 4 footers. Fully stretched, the distance between the open ends of the hooks is 51". But this is not the appropriate way to determine the size you need because the tie-down needs to be loose when hooking it to boat and trailer. IMO the tie-down needs to be at least 6" longer than the distance between boat and trailer.

Sure. You'll need a concrete anchor. Just swap the provided screws for the one you'll use to thread into the anchor.

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!

Make sure you have at least 5ft of chain attached. I tried many anchors but the digger anchor is by far the best

Use a hammer drill and masonry bit. Measure the length of the anchor you are using and set the depth gauge on the drill.

I used 24" rebar stakes for mine. But I was out in the desert and worried about wind - and not much else. Those 24" - 36" spiral stakes could work if you have soft soils.
