What size and type anchor for a 20' pontoon boat located on a lake with many bottom obstructions?
The mushroom anchors I have just don't seem to do the trick in windy conditions.Also what is the rule of thumb for how much anchor line to use? What type of anchors require a chain?
Boat weighs around 3000lbs. Winds on the lake can be from 8 to 22mph in my recent outings.
Still nothing beats a standard Danforth anchor for hold on most varieties of bottoms. You can use a modified version in 7 lbs. Typical line is a combo of chain and rope. The chain should be at least the length of the boat and I'd carry at least 100' of 3/8" rope tied to the chain. For windy conditions you should be using a minimum of 5 to 1 scope. That means in windy conditions you'd have just enough rode for 20' depth of water with 5 to 1 scope on the lake and not have to worry about breaking anchorage.
