Hi All!
Trying to come up with a stern anchor setup and looking for idea’s. Currently keep our # 2 fortress stashed away in the forward bow locker. It’s a bit of a pain to get it out and setup quickly.
Thanks Mark

Re: Stern Anchor Setup
Hi Mark - I'm doing the same thing now.
I'm using a Fortress FX-11 as a stern anchor - really just used when anchoring stern in to the beacht when there's a current.
I've been thinking about mounting the anchor under the stern seat, with a hanging canvas bag under the seat to store the rode.

Hi Mike
Thanks for the idea. Next time I’m on boat I’ll check out under the bench seat. We have a reel that mounts to railing for rode.
Take care,mark

Re: Stern Anchor Setup
we mounted a second anchor roller on the bow. If you are using a rope rode or let out chain to rope, it is easy to drop and retrieve the anchor from the bow and walk the line to the stern. This gives us the ability to use the second anchor as a bow or stern anchor.
