Can I tie a 5-lb anchor to the attached D-ring? I am concerning about the D-ring which might not be able to hold my body weight of 160 lb with 10 miles per hour wind across the lake . Please advise. I also have a problem with the valve cap of the main...

I haven't tied anything other than a fishing stringer but the fish combined were probably more that 5lbs. Normally any air adapter will work to get it full enough to finish off by blowing. I used and air matrice blower.

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.

I can't guarantee it - but, I don't see why it wouldn't work.I use a 10lb mushroom anchor for lake fishing, from my inflatable pontoon - I can raise and lower it easily and I think you would be able to raise and lower a 15lb river anchor. But, if you are fishing, with a river anchor, in a swift current - and get hung up, you would likely have to cut your anchor line - so, be sure you have a blunt-point, survival knife readily available - to cut the rope and NOT puncture your inflatable.

There are many ways to tie a knot. Different knots work with different pound test. Goggle "best knot to tie for x-lb test" and you'll get your best answer.

The first time we set this up was on a Lake Michigan beach in very heavy winds. We didn't tie it down at all, just staked it down in the normal way. As we were on the beach we used sand stakes. Because of the heavy winds it took 3 of us to set it up but we had no problems after it was set up.

I use a bungee to anchor mine when it gets windy. Living in fl we get oceanbreezy but I don't think this would work for you.

I have a 27 ft. Cobalt powerboat and it holds better than any anchor I've ever owned. We were in a storm on Banks lake with 40 mph winds and 3 ft. swells and it held through the whole storm.

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

NO! Do NOT tie it to one of the pillows. My daughter did that, and a light wind tore a silver dollar sized hole in the float where the pillow is mounted to the float. It was far from a heavy wind............until then, my wife and daughter both enjoyed it.

The hole this ring makes is rather small requiring me to use thin snap hooks. As the smaller hooks are available this was no problem. Another consideration is the surface area of the rings when they are compressed together. Smaller rings will have smaller surface area. Since your flag will be whipped by the wind, I recommend larger size grommets to maximize the surface area of the connection between the two grommet pieces when they are squeezed together.

Works with 10, would probably work with 25, assuming you could actually pull the 25lb anchor up - it's basically a pulley, with a locking mechanism, pulling it up is pulling the entire weight, plus the weight of the water resistance. I use it on an inflatable pontoon and could NOT pull the 25lbs up, over my shoulder, the way it has to be mounted on my pontoon.If you are using it in a boat, you may be able to raise it ok.Sorry, I can't be more helpful.

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.

They don't have a "D" ring but they do have something they call "soft connect", which works very well and I'm assuming the same concept you're referring about. You can connect using the hook, or pull the rope through whatever you want to latch onto, and the hook will come around and connect to a secondary strap which prevents ruining finishes if that's the case. Here's a good picture of what I'm talking about: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CAcQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kidsattractions.com%2Fcatalog%2Fparts-and-accessories%2Fheavy-duty-ratchet-straps.html&ei=1YXrVIjrEIiuogTK_oLADw&bvm=bv.86475890,d.cGU&psig=AFQjCNFH_PT6v6kKhtuj-UxlyQfPUPRUEw&ust=1424807747152419. The strap is on the left.

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 have one of those screw in anchors. Works great for all day beach stays. The umbrella starts straight up and there's no worries about it moving. I then simply tilt the umbrella to block the sun as it moves. The anchor keeps the umbrella nice and sturdy and especially with wind. I always worry I'll be out in the water when the wind blows and with my luck it would impale someone. :0/ I tie off the guy lines to 2.5lb weights because I'm that anal...but the tie downs and the anchor are sufficient. I'm buying a second one for this summer to tie together and create a 'tent' of sorts....

Hi Frank,You can loop a rope through the D Ring on the strap and work it that way. Hope this helps.

No, even with anchors you should not put your body weight on it unless you're less than 50lbs. I do own this product.
