Don

What kind of bottom are you using that in ?

I use a Danforth in almost exclusively sandy bottom with healthy doses of seaweed from time to time. However, I like the one pc design of the plow.

Default Hurricane tiedowns

If you really want to protect your boat, put it on trailer and install one of these at front and back of boat trailer, tie trailer down to anchors and tie boat to trailer . . . assuming you are on high enough ground to be above storm surge of course! For additional margin, put chocks in front and back of tires, let some air out of tires, lower nose wheel on trailer, leave bilge plug out, and fill bilge with water until it runs out transom drain.

I'm with ya on the one piece! I use it on both sand and grass, however if I'm going to be anchoring in a rocky area I always connect the end of the chain to the head of the anchor (for lack of a better word), the fluke end and use large tie wraps to attach a link of the chain to the main anchor connection. I noticed looking at a Google search the anchor is recommended by one of the "TV fishing show Captains", and they had it set up this way at the beginning of the video, just in case you hang up on a rock. No matter what, lots of chain is your friend. Plus I liked the part of the video where the sweet young lady was throwing the anchor off the boat....almost makes it worth the price!
