I grant that short scope is the "culture" there (same as Margate) so no matter what, he's going to have to manually set it.

Thinkxingu - that means grabbing the anchor/ opening the plates and starting it into the sand with either a dive to push it in the sand or clever use of your foot

I understand what you're getting at --what I'm trying to say is that MY anchor, when pulled flat across the lake floor, does not dig in but rather flips over. From my research and reading reviews of the Seachoice fluke-style anchor, either it's the angle the flukes are allowed to pivot to or bad design of the flukes that prevent the anchor from digging in.

The Fortress brand of fluke/Danforth anchor, and some others that people have success with, make specific note of the angle their flukes are limited to, the shape of the flukes, and not having a slip ring to flip the anchor backwards.

As Rattletrap noted above, what I posted is what he had that didn't work.
