I appreciate the offer to report back... anxious to read how it went for you. I was a sneeze away from pulling the trigger on one of those WavesRX kits (anchor, 15-50' bungee, and 5' of chain) but chickened out - it's $231 after a 10% discount. But I think I'm going to start with a more frugal appro...

Anyone use an anchor system with a bungee?

Good info. Everyone here is so friendly

I will purchase more chain and see if I can gitter done correctly. If I still have issues, I will use that new chain on a different anchor (box or similar).

I will report back for sure! Thanks again everyone!!

I've had okay results with my fluke in the past. I had 10' of chain on a 15lb fluke anchor for our 242. Most times, it held pretty well, as long as I had 2x to 3x the rode out as the depth we were anchored in. Last year, Labor Day weekend, the fluke held too well, and I lost it. Just got a new anch...

Would something like this work? (really appreciate the help )

Yes … ALL that rope by hand lol!! Sometimes by me but mostly by my son

Thanks for the replies Bruce and Kate! I think I had almost 190’ of rope out with 3’ of chain at the anchor in 18 feet of water. Wind was whipping! Do you recommend the Fluke style or should I switch things up ? Kate - sounds like my technique is lacking. I have been giving it a light toss, and then...

I apologize if this has been asked and answered. I am having a heck of a time anchoring on LAKE GENEVA in wind! I’ve been using a fluke style anchor, with 3’ of chain, and a lot of line…. And still not grabbing. I know their are factors regarding weed bottom, mud and drop offs. But I need something ...
