What size anchor on 38
 

What size anchor are you guys using on your 380s? The size that they tell you to use at the boat store will never fit under my back seat. My 13 pounder is holding OK in calm water though. Need the info!!!!!

Fortress FX-7

I use this one, have had it for years. Have been tied up in a row of large boats in wind getting blown, and most times when I set it out we stop moving. The part I like best is the flukes drop out when you raise it and all the dirt and mud just fall off it so you don't drag the dirt into your boat. As it says, no chain is necessary. I just hooked 200 feet of anchor line to it. Grabs every time.

Thanks a ton, thats the info I was looking for!!! How wide is that thing? The pic is kinda from the side, will it fit under the back seat?

It fits under the back seat of my 32 sunsation, so I am sure it will fit under yours. I plan to continue to use it with the new 43 Sunsation. I'm not worried about it holding.

I have mine stored down at LOTO right now or else I would measure it. Just guessing I would say it is around 15 inches wide.

I think other places carry them. If I recall correctly I think I got mine out of Barts. This was just the first site that came up when I searched in Google.

Great, thanks a bunch.

I use the Fortress FX7 on the 38 and it works greatr. Also fits under the rear seat. Sugest you go to Top Knot and get an anchor bag. Holds the Fortruss and over 100' of rope with chain.

I use an electrical cord roll up. Keeps 200 feet of anchor line straight.
