wrote: Hello all. I'm sorry, but I think this may sound stupid but I don't know anything about anchors. I have a 31' Regal and have never used the anchor. The few times I've used the boat is just for cruising, have never needed to stop in the middle of the water like some people I see especially fishermen. So how does it work? What if the water is too deep? If I lower it how does it hook up below the water? How do I disengage it? What if it's stuck and unable to disengage? Do I cut it? What if it's a metal chain? And finally, what is a windlass? How does it work? Thanks for any help Eddie Google can be your friend. http://www.boatus.com/boattech/anchorin.htm http://www.boatus.com/boattech/anchorwn.htm -- John H |
