During those conditions, I ask myself the same question! Wind bursts can come out of nowhere - everything you posted I agree with, only thing I would add is to listen in on the wind forecast from your VHF.@sysinu 50MPH? What are you doing on the lake with that kind of wind?
There are a few, most of them are floating outhouse/pump out stations, though. There aren't many... there are navigation buoy's but I don't suggest mooring to those.@sysinu Good time to ask this question...are there any permanent mooring buoys on Lake Powell out away from the marinas in popular camping spots? I guess with the rise and fall of the lake, it might be a maintenance headache if they had to be adjusted...may have answered my own question.
That is great advice. I was trying to think of what would work to help pad the anchor locker. I had thought to just store it on top of the life jackets in one of the front hinged storage areas, but that may not be the best thing in an emergency situation.The cheap anti-fatigue mats sold in 2'x2' squares, that fit together with locking teeth, sold at Lowe's, Home Depot, and even cheaper at Harbor Freight, work great as cut to fit padding for the anchor locker! That is what I use and I have had box anchors through two boats now, nary a crack! BTW, I removed my bow ladder as we don't use it, and that made the use of my box anchor much easier.
You may find a day that the box anchor doesn't hold well. There are conditions that it won't. Just feed out more scope and it will solve your problem!
I used a Rocna (similar design of Mantus) on my previous boat, after a lot of research.Anyone tried a mantus anchor? Videos of them are impressive.
Would also like to know if an 13lb mantus or the Rocna would hang in the '15 and up 24' anchor compartments. I want a new anchor, but really want to be able to use the anchor compartment.I used a Rocna (similar design of Mantus) on my previous boat, after a lot of research.
I have no doubt that these are the best, most universal anchors, made.
I don't overnight often so I haven't made the investment, this time (yet).
If I did (or when I do), I will buy a Rocna 10 (22 lbs) and know that my boat has the best chance possible of being where I left her, regardless of conditions (weather/bottom).
Beginning to think that it is possible to hang the Rocna (Mantus) from a bar placed where we currently hang our danforths....
