Anchor for 405 Carver
I just recently purchased a 405 Aft Cabin (LOVE HER!!). The surveyor mentioned that the anchor on the boat would not hold him in place. The boat came from a lake, and I don't think they every really put stress on the anchor.
I plan to take the boat to the Keys, so obviously I am in need of a serious upgrade. This is one are I do not want to cut corners. I am looking at this 65 pound Mantus:

Does anyone have any thoughts\recommendations?
Thank you in Advance,
Ken

Re: Anchor for 405 Carver
This season I upgraded my anchor to a 45 lb Mantus. I have used it a number of times and am very happy with both the setting and holding of the anchor.
I also installed a Mantus swivel with the anchor. (nice heavy construction)
Along with the anchor I purchased their anchormate which keeps the new anchor nice and snug on the bow.
Last year I purchased my first Mantus product, the 'chain hook' for use with my bridal. The hook is an excellent and unique design. In fact when I weighed anchor this morning I had that very thought!
Wow... looking at what I just wrote I guess I qualify as Mantus enthusiast! I like their designs and the customer service is very impressive.
Best of luck with your search and the new boat.

Re: Anchor for 405 Carver
Will definitely contact the Windlass manufacturer. I had that on my checklist, but had completely forgotten about it. Your mind really starts to swirl with a new boat!
I should probably just go with Mantus and call it a day. Everyone has a different opinion that I have talked to...they are probably all correct opinions to some degree.
Thanks again,
Ken

Re: Anchor for 405 Carver
I saw a few posts about Mantus on the other forums that freaked me out. I doubt you can go wrong with either, but I have not heard anything but glowing recommendations about the Vulcan.
