2.0 out of 5 stars Chene anchor too light to do the job, July 5, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Chene Anchor (Misc.)

I bought this chene anchor because of the ads about increased bottom gripping with the 45 degree angle and "less line required" to set the anchor. This weekend it was too light to sink fast enough in moderate current in Galveston Bay and light wind to find the bottom in 20ft of water. The boat drifts off with the anchor suspended in the water column. In a sandy shell bottom in 4ft of water, it would not hold either. I believe the flukes are too short in sandy bottom. I am not happy with it, so it will be a backup anchor for my 14ft bass boat that stays in calm water. Real disappointed.

100% useless - I originally ordered this anchor for my size boat. When it arrived it looked very small but figured it was so high tech, it didn't need to be larger. Well it took forever to hookup and it was never a solid hook. Re-ordered the largest size available thinking it just needed to be larger and heavier. Horrible again. Save your money!!! My Specs: 23' boat, North Atlantic (NY), sand and rock bottom. Failed miserably on all bottoms. Couldn't even snag it in the rocks.

I use this anchor with my Sea Doo Gtx Limited. It is the first anchor that has held my PWC in all conditions. THe small size is also great. Sand, wind, rocks this anchor holds.
