A cleated river anchor good for rocks & sand in the bow locker (312) & a medium box anchor (man is that thing HEAVY!) in the bag under the rear seat. still plenty of room for stuff. I don't like "stuff" thats heavy or pointed to be anywhere around my glass or upholstery!! so the side pockets are out (that's where the sub's go anyway)!!

The cabin step on my 303 is the anchor locker,I keep two anchors,two ropes,flare kit,12 volt pump and everyone's shoes in mine.

Thanks for your replies, guys!

Secretformula, I'll try the step in the cabin too. My anchor looks too big for that space. What kind/size anchor do you have?

I use a fare size Danforth anchor that I cut about an inch off each end of the crossbar. Another thought does your Kplanes retract all the way to negative, most 303s dont, I can tell you how to fix that and pick up 1 to 2 mph.

The Box anchor is the stuff! Folds flat, carrying case, and is a easy to set.just chunk it and tie off. no more worries.No more chain on my boat! Of course waiting for new motor so who the hell needs a anchor anyway!

Secret...I'm interested as to how to check/fix the K-Planes. I have a 303 also. Thanks in advance.

Must be a clip in there to remove. I have never seen a K-plane that does not go all the way up

secretformula,

Looks like I should look to buy a box anchor. Do they hold well in rock, sand, silt, etc.?

My K-planes are fine. I checked them with a straight edge and they do go negative. Just replaced batteries in the boat. What a ***** to get to. Love the boat though!

Drop anchor on St Johns river tied a 32 & 26' together never moved! Always out at Crab Is. in Destin with tide pull.... just drop off Bow and it pretty much sets itself, never had one work this easy!

Atip for anchor rode chains I cover mine with an iner tube from my sons bike.
