    Fitting a Mantus Anchor in a 2015 Ar240 front anchor compartment

    Great question! We use an extension cord reel. You can pick one up at any hardware store for a small price. It makes it easy to reel the anchor line back in. Also, it helps to get the anchor line all tangled up while being stowed. Hope this helps!

    Anchors for southern lakes?

    I urge you to watch the Mantus testing videos on our website below. When you see them, they are almost hard to believe how good they work. Then, if you pull the trigger and get a Mantus and use it you will become a believer. The Mantus anchors are truly incredible. If I didn't believe they...

    Fitting a Mantus Anchor in a 2015 Ar240 front anchor compartment

    About 6 to 1 scope would work, depending on the conditions. Be sure and watch the video on my website comparing the box anchor to the Mantus anchor before you purchase.

    Hey there @why_fly_high ! We are in Norman. We have a Yamaha that we keep at Texoma on the Oklahoma side at Marina Del Rey. Its a pretty decent marina. Not the worlds best, but pretty good. We also have a big boat that we stay on down there. So, we are at Texoma most weekends throughout...

    Just to reinforce what @Jebinok and @DCB-270 are saying that chain is not necessary, my rear anchor is a 2 pound Mantus with no chain and it holds just fine also.

    Chain is not required with the Mantus anchor. Chain will help, but is not required. These anchors are truly unbelievable and work very well with or without chain.

    Fitting a Mantus Anchor in a 2015 Ar240 front anchor compartment

    We do not have problems with the 13# anchor banging around in our front seat compartment on our SX230. We have some extra lifejackets underneath it and it stays just fine. For your 242X, I would highly recommend using the 13# anchor, rather than the 8#. You will be much happier with the 13#...

    Fitting a Mantus Anchor in a 2015 Ar240 front anchor compartment

    The Mantus Dinghy anchor is now only available in stainless steel. This stainless steel version is actually very neat. It disassembles into three pieces very quickly with no tools at all. I am certain you can store this anchor in just about any compartment due to the fact that is...

    Fitting a Mantus Anchor in a 2015 Ar240 front anchor compartment

    A bungee attached to the anchor rode will indeed help. However, it is no comparison to adding a better anchor. The Mantus anchor is a better anchor than the Navy anchor. I can personally attest to this.

    Awesome!! Enjoy!! I'm glad you got it so quick!

    We keep our under the seat as well. We use our spare lifejackets as padding. Very simple and works great for extra padding.

    I haven't seen the 19' anchor locker. So, I can't say with any certainty. I am sure it would fit under a seat though. We keep our 13 pound Mantus anchor under the seat in the bow. I didn't like the idea of it at first, but it has worked out fine for us.
