One hopes, but I typically anchor in 10 feet or under.

As for mud.... well you makes your choice. Either go forward and wash
things off as the line comes in or leave it dirty and handle it from
the cockpit :-)

I typically don't worry about the line, since it goes in the locker, just
the anchor mud. I guess I just need to try it.


I've been thinking about adding some plumbing to the wash down pump to
spray the rode as it comes up.

It's not high on the priority list.
As it is, I just hose down the anchor locker once everything is stowed.

Yeah... that's what I do. If I don't return to the marina after one night
anchored out, then the anchor usually gets washed off by the chop/spray the
next day.
