Wayne, concerning my pontoon boat anchor. Does that mean that I need
to put a chain on my cement block?

Probably not if you only anchor in sand or soft muddy conditions. *On
the other hand if you want to anchor securely in rocky conditions, the
chain is a good idea. *

Can we assume that you don't encounter much coral in Illinois? * :-)

I'm sure you're aware that a concrete block anchor is not likely to
hold in a major wind squall.

LOL! No I dont' think there is much coral to worry about where I'm
from, only an occasional sunk refrigerator or deep freezer


Nah, the pontoon is a lake/river queen and doesn't have to hold
much. A major wind squall? I've been in one of those before, and
unless I get caught in it, I won't be on the lake when that happens.
