Anchor for 29 Fever
 

I have searched the threads...

What is everyone using for their 29 Fever's with the anchor locker? I want something that will fit securely in the locker and not bang around.

Any suggestions.

The 29 I had did not have a locker. On all my Bajas I have always lined the lockers with thick, slushy style floor mats to help limit any banging around. In my experience the anchors rarely stay put. I also use a vinyl coated Navy style anchor that doesn't have any sharp edges. Their ratings are bad (and not accurate). A 20lb holds my 342 in Ohio River current just fine. All depends on where you boat and what you're trying to hook up to.

A Box Anchor and tie it down.

I have a 20lbs navy anchor that seems to do the job

If Pickwick Lake has a sandy bottom...Get a Hooker! Put about 6' of chain between it and the anchor line...excellent for soft/sandy bottoms.

you have an anchor locker?.....nice

I like the idea of the floor mats, not sure why I have never thought of this on any of my various boats :coolcowboy::cool-smiley-027:

Thats what I use.. two front floormats for a truck/SUV for the anchor to sit on. Helps limit the banging around.

I bought two of the bolt together "Fortress" aluminum anchors for my 24' Sonic. One I keep assembled (w/chain and line) under a V-berth cushion in the cuddy (so I don't have to crawl across the V berth to get to the locker), the other I switched the anchors lock nuts to wing nuts and keep it disassembled in the aft sun lounge. Easily assembled for a 2nd anchor on the beach.

My 29' is being delivered on the 8th. I'm not sure if it has an anchor or not (I should have looked). If it does I will measure, weigh, and photograph. If not I will share my "adventure" in purchasing something that fits and whatever mods that were necessary. Stay tuned...
