yes, your 454 is an anchor

 ;D

Sounds like Brad is carrying a 650 pound anchor in the back of his boat.  A little excessive don't you think buddy?   ::)

Great Thread!

How far out from shore do you typically anchor?  (in the nose out position, assuming parking in or near sand).  I would be parking on the river with a fast current and crowded beach and would rather not learn from my mistakes.

I almost had a heart attack last summer when some sand clogged the jet and i couldn't get the bucket to flip up! :o

Newbie here, so you can't just pull up to a shore like a sand bar instead on anchoring ?

Danger,
Depending on how far out of the water your transom sticks you may want to anchor backwards.  If i park nose first i get water splashing over the transom all day long soaking my motor, electronics, and filling the boat with water.   It can also push sand against the bucket making it stick (not fun when you figure it out).

 I started backing my boat in this year and I am not going back.   I put a sand anchor in the front (if you are anchoring in rocks it sounds like the box anchor is the way to go) and another in the rear keeping my boat out about 10ft. This keeps the jet out of the sand and the boat from flooding all day. The two anchors keep tension on each other and the line absorbs any wakes or waves.

I had luck beaching the the bow and placing a line from each side (aft cleat) out to shore. I still havn't got my anchor to do its job yet. I don't have any chain on it yet tho, maybe I need to add a 7 foot length of 5/8 chain on it. It just doesn't get a good bite. It is a typical fluke style. I was debating on sharpening it a bit, maybe that will keep it from skating.

This seems the best way, I use a heavy weight instread of that pos anchor I have. I back in a drop it in and tie of to the front cleat now.

I use a box anchor for the bow and a slide anchor for the ski tow along with some Danik hooks.....
Nothing is easier than that ;)
