The Mantus Anchor system is a great anchor system for your Ranger Tug R-23. This video walks you through the evolution from the factory anchor system to a complete Mantus system. We couldn't be happier with the results. This video is not sponsored.

Ironically Dave, you presented this thorough discussion on your evolving anchoring system without ever discussing your anchor choice. A stock Lewmar claw held on Lake Normal, a Danforth held at Holden Beach, and then Voila! there's a 2nd gen Mantis on the bow. Not a Vulcan nor other Rocna nor earlier gen Mantis. Felt like a missing important step. I only mention this as I'm now facing a similar choice for a Cutwater 248, a kissing cousin of your R23 but with an anchor platform that won't accept a roll bar. Bet you weighed the anchor choice thoroughly before deciding.

Hey Jack. I missed replying to this and just noticed. I went with the Mantis based on the rest of the system (Bow roller, Swivel, Bridle, Snubber, bow stop), so the anchor was a natural fit. I didn't want to deal with the hoop on the end of the M1. The M2 had great reviews and we have been extremely happy with it. We were on a lee shore anchorage overnight near Vero Beach a few weeks back and she held firm through a very uncomfortable night. Very happy with it.

you use a stern anchor as well? a lil extra security helps

@CruisingElvinRay Год назад

We do have a second anchor on board to use if necessary.

Dave - thanks for this video. I still have the factory anchor & bow roller on my 2018 R23, but am annoyed that it won't self deploy. I'm often solo and have to go out on the bow just to give the anchor a nudge over the roller. Is the final result of your new bow roller & anchor that it will self deploy from the helm now? Also, does the original factory windlass have any issue raising the heavier anchor? I'm thinking of shamelessly copying your entire Mantus upgrade - bow roller, anchor, swivel - what supplier did you use for parts and do you recommend them? Thanks!

We usually cruise with the anchor locked in place, but it will definitely self-deploy if unlocked with no intervention. I bought the Mantus anchor components directly from Mantus Marine. About twice a year, they have a 20% off everything sale, the last being around July 4. That's the best time to buy Mantus ground tackle. I love our anchor setup now.

Good video , i switched my two Rangers over to Rocna anchors . My question has always been , why do we have to spend extra money for proper gear ? When you spend this much money , most of us would have paid a bit more for top notch equipment ? Or am I wrong ? I think of anchor , shore power connection to a ''smart plug '' ( less electrical fires ) . My first R27 Diesel , i built a removable step , for easy engine service . Why are tanks not accessible ? what happens if you have a leak ? pull the boat apart ?

With any "sport" Hobby" or "life endeavor" there is an entry-level price, and all the upgrades are personal preferences, or they are included in the next year's model.

@CruisingElvinRay Год назад

In my opinion, it all comes down to priorities. Every boater has different ones, and every boat is a compromise. To appeal to a broad audience, at a price point that makes sense, they can’t go “top shelf” on everything. Like I said in the video, we used the factory setup and gradually improved it over time, just like I’ve done with just about every system on the boat.

@@CruisingElvinRay i see your point also , Thanks for the video .

@rangertruth4776 Год назад

@@briangaquin1021 yes , would be nice to be an option for next years model .

@brianlydiatt5849 Год назад

Can you provide the swivel you used on the factory chain and anchor before you switched to the mantis full setup? I’m a fellow R23 owner on the west coast of Canada, also if your interested I swapped my factory stove for a propane 2 burner with a 5lb tank in the rear cockpit it’s fantastic

@CruisingElvinRay Год назад

I used the Mantis S1 swivel with a smaller shackle to fit the factory anchor. Mantus is running a 20% off promotion right now, too. And YES! Very interested in your stove solution!

Music is really unnecessary

@Unnamed245 8 месяцев назад

Then maybe you should forward through it like I do when I don’t want to hear someone’s music. I do it ever week on a couple people I follow. Just a thought to ease your distress.
