So I have still yet to put in an anchor locker drain, as we were not really using it and I was not really wanting to put holes in the boat. but now the time has come(here in a week or so ) and after reading through the old post about a potential void and drain tubes ect. I was just curious is it...

I really appreciate all the information posted up here! lots of good insight. after thinking it over we are going to go with the 8 plait rope and 25' of G4 HT chain, defender has a pre made one that will fit the bill although they do not specify if acco is the maker of chain I have an email out...

yeah I caught that too about the price wording too witch makes me wonder about issues it may have. that said the cruiser I bought was advertised similar to this (and was much less$) even with the red flags raised it turned out to be a true good deal that they just wanted to get rid of it...

maybe it isn't as good of deal as it sounds as it is still up for sale.... I guess the power is a little dated..

if I didnt have the current cruiser almost where i want her I would be driving right now to check this one out... https://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/boa/4393315319.html also a sharp looking 19' angler https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/boa/4384891423.html

dreamer thanks for the offer.

right on, thanks for the break down.

wiliwa is that 15' of 1/4 chain? and i take it rode is different than rope. I know a windlass would be much easier for anchoring tis just the season is starting up and I am seeing this as a next winter project. I have not seen that windlass before BC thanks for the link. I think I will end up...

ok wish i could edit original post but i cannot so after talking with a couple of my buddy boats who anchor a fair amount for halibut. (i have always drifted) I have decided that 300' of rope will be fine and that most fishing anchoring will 70-140' of water there are a few places that get up...

also looking online for the 25' of chain online for the 1/4 g4 prices are kind of all over i found a retail on ebay for 1.75$ for "ANCHOR CHAIN 1/4",HT, G4,ISO, GALVANIZED" seems like the best deal? and thataway, lets say i was to compromise and only anchor fish in lets say 150-175' of water...

also will the 10' of heavier chain be able to be used with the windlass?

thanks for all the info. I figured there would be away to anchor from the cockpit and then backing down i also assumed but was not 100% sure. I really like the idea of the bowline and clipping it into the rode. thataway there was a lot of info in that post and some of it i will have to look up...

So there was a Danforth anchor on the c dory when we bought her a couple years ago, and up to this point all overnighters have been on docks. this spring/summer we plan to change that. so I have only anchored drift boats in rivers and small duck boats in ponds. none of that experience will...

I just found out about this gathering and had never heard of pender harbour before, but looking at the pictures online it looks like a great spot. after reading the comments it looks like giving 3 days each way from sequim would work I too don't know about work as now its getting closer but i...

sounds like a blast (like always) but opening halibut weekend for us out of la Push so we will miss it this year. have to love the 4 day season we get... have fun and safe travels. and good luck to you in neah seadna.

you troll fishing these or anchor fishing? I have been wanting to Take boat down to columbia for springers and buoy 10 but the whole river thing has me gun shy, have done it in a jet before (springers) oh and good luck wish I could break free

these are great events to help with and get vets out fishing we do a similar WW deal out in CQ most years.

we do ours ourselves and think most anyone could do it too. like mentioned the main thing is figuring out how your shift linkage disconnects and to not mess with the adjustments while taking apart and re assembling. we replace our water pumps every other year, regardless of hours and that is...

thanks again for all the help..

good luck with the ride i am sure someone will offer, ours will be coming out of storage here in a few weeks although were a bit further out than your area your looking for. that said even with trim tabs in chop its still a bit rough and noisy if trying to maintain higher speeds. and thats if...
