I think I want a 11 or 16 lb Claw.

I will be pulling it up by hand. I have 20-25 feet of chain and 250 rope.

1. Will either of these fit on the factory bow roller/holder?
2. Any of you pull up the 16 by hand on a regular basis and how is it?

(I want to anchor overnight)

Am leaning toward the 16, and would like to here from some of you who have real world experience. I have read the other anchor posts..

Thanks for the replies...

When on the boat we swing on the anchor every night, and our 16# Bruce with 30 foot of ¼’ chain and ½’ line has never let us down. My wife generally pulls up the anchor with little trouble, I can manage also. Here in Alaska, a least in South Central the Bruce is widely used and respected. Why spend more when a 60$ knockoff will do the trick.
Definitely go with ½’ line, it way easier on the hands. We pack 600 feet in the bow with no problem.
 
Warren you cant find the chain because its on my 22. you gave it to me two years ago. I may pull it off of there but would like to leave it so the 22 is cruise ready when I sell.
