I just read about someone increasing their CQR anchor heft by adding
lead. Has anyone knowledge of how this can be properly done ?

The entire purpose of the anchor is to hold your boat in a location when you
MOST need it. This is definitely something you do NOT want to jury-rig (as
if you want to jury-rig things on a boat anyway). In a blow, late at night,
I don't know about you, but I MUST HAVE peace of mind knowing I setup my
ground tackle correctly. My life must depend on it. This is NOT the place to
cut corners. Get the proper anchor for your boat and anchoring conditions.
