It depend on many factors. How big if your boat? Wind conditions? Most importantly what kind of substrate is there at the bottom of the lake/ocean? Grapler anchors are meant to cling on to rocky bottoms so they don't need much weight. If you are boating in an area with sandy or muddy bottom the grapler anchor will not hold. I use a grapler anchor myself but its pretty heavy plus i have a chain on it. I boat in a variety of areas and find this setup pretty universal.
@@DavidPhamChannel yeah I have a chain on my grappler that’s being used on my seahawk 4, my lake has patches of rock and sand but based on what you are saying I think I might upgrade to a bigger and better anchor. Thanks for your help
@@bert3195 I really dont know, i m using a 10lb one myself and its totally fine. Since its the same glue they are using for the handles on the boat i would imagine it to be ok since the handles are meant to support the weight of these boats (~100 lbs).
The anchor assembly comes off but the patch/mount stays on. Folding the boat with the patch and mount isn't any different than without, its pretty small.
Bad idea. The anchor/rope rubs against the boat. The rope is run too close to the pontoon. The PVC material will quickly get damaged. Great example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_h1h_gQLSXo.html
