The anchor puller will work fine if the anchor is not set in too deep or snagged under something. We have had instances where the windlass had to bring the anchor off the bottom, but still the anchor was "hung up"--in those cases, we had to bring the object it was "hung up on", as close to the surface with the windlass--and then pass a line under the tree, cable, chain etc to take the strain. Finally the anchor is lowered again, and allowed to fall clear of the restraining object. This won't work if the anchor is jammed under rocks--there you may have to either pull on the crown, or run a piece of chain under the anchor flukes and pull the opposite way.
For larger boats and inboard, there is some risk with the puller and fouling the prop. _________________ Bob Austin
