What size Manson Plough Anchor for an RL28?
Hi guys.

I need to purchase a new anchor for my RL28.
I used to use a Manson 25Lb anchor which held like a rock, but it was a bit too heavy when retrieving. Also, during the period my boat sat at anchor, the Manson has dug itself so far into the sand that we can't retrieve it so I have decided to put a mooring buoy on it and use it a my permanant mooring.

I want to buy another Manson anchor but what would you guys recomend as a suitable weight? 10lb? 15lb?

I would love to hear any suggestions. Perhaps someone can suggest something other than a Manson anchor?

Thanks Mike.

I did look up the Manson web site and yes the 25LB is recommended, but they also recommend the 15LB too.

I also looked up the Delta anchor site and they suggest a 13lb Delta.

I will have to see if I can locate the Bruce rip off.

Thanks for the information.

The 7.5 kg self aligning anchor is part # 164206 on the www.bla.com.au web site. You should be able to pick one up at a local boat dealer. You may have to wait for new stock to come in.
If they really dig in its just a matter of pulling from directly above and the stock acts as a lever. As with all anchors, plenty of chain helps hold the stock down.
