<eM>I posted this also in general area, so please excuse double posting. Just want to be sure I reach the right people.

What type anchor is recommended for casual use say to throw out the back end of a pontoon boat when you have the front tied up to a tree on a beached area around the lake? Something to keep the boat from swinging around with the wind, but still easy(!) to get up when you leave. Will be in rather shallow water. Not for anchoring out in the middle of the channel.

I have used a Danforth (spelling?) before in the ocean with a larger boat, but they can be a pain to pull up sometimes if they get a good grip. especially if set from the back of the boat around the prop. And it was used in rather deep 30-50 foot water. It was what came with the boat and I did not select it.

Thanks for experienced answers!!!

I use a mushroom anchor. Many people like a box anchor since they fold up and take up less room when stored.

I use a Modified Mushroom anchor....Like a Mushroom only has 3 chunks taken out to look like curved prongs....The biggest key is to use a chain to keep the anchor from standing up. I have a 4ft chain attached to the anchor. I don't usually have any trouble getting it to take a set.
