Hello everyone,
I have searched and cant seem to find the information i am looking for. I am looking for some advice on mooring my 36' sea ray off to the side of a local channel. Its a no wake zone with about 15' of water located in new smyrna beach fl. I see a lot of boats moored out there but I don't know what they are using as far as anchors. I know a large mushroom anchor is used sometimes but I have no way to get it out there. Is it acceptable to use a large danforth anchor instead? I was looking at something in the 70lb range with 20' of chain. Its a sand and or mud bottom. I have a solar panel to keep my batteries charged and a photo cell on my anchor light to keep it on at night. Should I be concerned with the boat drifting or coming loose with an anchor that large? I have seen that some people set a rear anchor and some do not. What is recommended? Thank you in advance.
