Dumb question about where to tie anchor line to the boat

You can run a stock system for a long time. Consider getting a jumper pack if you have concerns. Cheap and easy.

I recommend that you pick up a couple of Danik Hooks, one for the bow, one for the stern.
It makes life soooo much easier if you anchor in an area wherel the water levels raises or lowers during the course of an afternoon. Simply slide the line through the hook to adjust the length.

Take a "Box Anchor" as seen here: https://www.slideanchor.com/Hlm_ShopIT_ProductDetails.aspx?ID=024a8189-c4ba-41dc-9a41-c5e749bb8688

Combine the box anchor with an "Anchor Buddy" as seen here: http://slideanchor.com/store/index.php/accessories/anchor-buddy.html

With this combo it is as simple as throw and go.

No counting feet of rope based on your depth. I carry two on the boat. Throw one over the bow and one off the stern.

For beaching I carry two "Shore Spikes" as seen here: http://slideanchor.com/store/index.php/shore-spike.html

Combine the shore spikes with a "Danik Hook" as seen here: http://slideanchor.com/store/index.php/danik-hook.html

I also bought a handful of Danik Hooks for the lines when docking. They work great! Super easy!

Box anchor paired with the anchor buddy is the way to go. I typically use two. I simply throw one off the bow and clip (not tie) the end of the anchor buddy to the bow eye . The second gets thrown off the stern and clipped to stern. Boat stays put in crowded party coves.

Do you have some pix to what this looks like? I like the idea…

I like the jumper pack idea......an added plus it makes you look good if someone else needs a jump.

If you’re going to beach regularly definitely recommend getting a keel guard. Even “soft” sand is like sandpaper.
