To measure the set distance I need some means of
marking exactly the location that the anchor was dropped. I am
invisioning some sort of pointed weight with a boyant shaft that can be
dropped as the anchor is released.




The best solution would be to use a diver to mark the spot underwater. Get
the diver out of the way, drop the anchor, then have the diver come set a
marker next to the anchor. Do your set/drag test then have the diver
measure the distance along the bottom. That will assure that current, wind
and drop issues are not a factor.


I'll volunteer to be the diver. You furnish the air and weights. I'll
bring everything else. :-)
