Anchor

[cmattj]

I like my digger too. But I usually just reach down and pick it up off the bottom. I just use the 6ft chain for looks. I use the 2lbs mushroom off the back too.

I have the windlass and it has a fortress on it, it works ok on Tablerock, but it is going to get stuck, I have had to muscle it out several times, including this week, the bad deal is the windlass is designed for that type anchor. Any suggestions for an alternate on TBLR?

Get yourself a digger Anchor. they are cheap enough if you have to cut the rope it isn’t the end of the world. I have been using a digger on TRL for about 15 months now and have never had an issue getting it to grab.

I was actually going to get windlass on my r7 and the dealer talked me out of it. Said it would just get stuck on trl.

Tgrace, my understanding is that you don’t use chain with a Digger, is that correct? Just curious how much rope you put on it?

You don’t need chain for sure. I know Table Rockin has chain on his. Maybe that is why it won’t release from time to time. I don’t on mine. But anyways I have 100ft of rope on mine.

Ps- we need to meet up sometime. I’d love to see that 292 of yours.

June 7th or 8th would be a good time!

Don't laugh, I do the same thing.

Still too long 20. Works. We can give bfun the extra too. I think he's in 3 feet of water

Don't know if I need it or not, but I've got 6' of chain and about 175' of rope on mine. Lake Travis is very deep and I can't aways get enough rope out for the 2:1 or 3:1 ratio. Mine releases with no problem with the chain. I'm usually anchoring up in deep water and there are many shallow beaches on Travis. maybe TableRockin is being affected by too much lemonade.

Nice thing about the Richter is it doesn't require as much to set. I do Travis with an 18lb Richter and 100' rode and it works fine, even in Devils Cove.

Love to meet up, and thanks for the response, I am ordering from overtons now. I unfortunately can’t make the 6th and 7th, second year in a row it overlaps my family vacation. We will be down three weekends in July? Would love to see your boat and share some Swamp Water my signature drink.

Swamp water? Oh do tell! So far lemonade is the CC drink of choice around here, and it pretty much covers everything. But swamp water?
Say...

[MikeBo]

It’s my signature drink, I hate to give it away? But here it goes. Can of lemonade, can of Orange Juice, fifth of Tito’s, 7 cups of water, Stir up and Freeze. Makes a slush, serve it in an insulated cup and top with a little sprite or diet sprite! Boom!

Be prepared for tops to fall off

What about DPs? Does it do that too? That's a thing around here too.
