Mantus Anchor Review

thinkxingu · 08-19-2016, 10:52 AM

OK, so after using the 13# for a few weeks and realizing it was holding so tightly, I contacted Mantus to ask about the 8#. The response was that in conditions under 30 knots, the 8# would be great--with a 20' pontoon and 10' bimini I'm on the border of sizes.

So, always the pragmatist, I bought an 8# and 2# to try as bow and stern anchors and will be giving them the run-through this week while I'm on vacation and will post my results here. I've attached a pic of the two and will try to get one with all three so people can see the difference as I believe most people reading this may have to make the same decision (17-24' boats).
