Works fine - do it all the time.

Unless you need to unstick the anchor in which case you need to
manuever with your main engine.

Thanks for everyone who has replied to my post.

Seem like I can use a bow-mounted electric trolling motor to assist in
retrieving an anchor. I can add this to one of the reason why I
should get an electric trolling motor.

No, I am not using it to unstuck an anchor. I simply use it to
position the boat at the correct angle relatively to the anchor (while
I am rolling up the anchor line); then I can pull the anchor up
relatively easily.

Thanks again for all the replies.
