Just a suggestion.... if you fit a remote switch to the windlass then when you want to leave and find that the tide has risen 6'+ and you jump overboard to your horror. You could have stayed on the boat, let out the bow line and retrieved the beach anchor directly over it. Also if the weather changes and starts to blow on shore the remote will pull you off shore and give you a bit of time to start engine/s then retrieve the bow anchor. Another good trick is to fix a line to either anchor to pull it out in case of a foul .😂
I bought a 100’ marine rope on a reel with a Caribbean clip. Then I bought a 10 pack of stainless steel eye bolts. I’ve been installing the eye bolts all over my local water way that has trees on the beach. Drop the bow anchor back in and clip to the tree. I’ve seen other boaters using my land anchors. 😂
I guess one has to do it near the shore but high enough so the blades of motor is clear of the bottom. Also you don't want the second anchor so be too deep otherwise when the tide changed like rise you be swimming out.
This is exactly what I do each week at a local river beach we have here......but every week the constant parade of jet ski's mere feet from my bow line seems to make my boat wander all over the place. I have a 19ft bassboat and I am using 20lb anchors and a 4 or 5 to 1 anchor line. Front anchor is a navy anchor which holds 90% of the time. Rear anchor is a mushroom anchor. I have even used a sand spike before and the tension from the wakes is so hard it ends up dragging the front anchor. Suggestions? (Thinking about getting a 50lb anchor LOL)
A longer length of chain between the rope and anchor might help. It effectively works like a shock absorber, because when your boat rocks, it must lift the chain off the bottom before actually tugging the anchor. Plus, the chain helps to keep a more optimal downward force on the anchor so it will dig in better.
Exactly what is said above. I have a 28 foot cuddy with a 20 lb anchor and always had issues with my anchor moving. I added another 5 ft of chain, and it doesn't budge now
Two questions. 1 do you raise a flag notifying everyone your anchored second question during a night time stay while you're angered is there a light flashing notifying people that you are stationary and anchored
With 2 anchors your boat will not sway in changing winds. Also it's best to have your bow pointed into the waves and not your stern. If you need to control the boat from shore you can do so. If the tide has go down a little, once you get back on the boat you can pull on your bow line to get you to a proper depth so you don't have to start you motor/motors in the sand.
@ Blair Campbell: what's funny? I have my 25 ton license and boat here in South Carolina. Dealing with tides especially those on a full moon are issues if only one anchor is used. It was not to throw shade on your video because I do like watching them. I just had a question. That's all.
Anchors are easy to pull up when ur on top of them, anchors only work if ur on an angle thats why u need to let out a certain leght of rope at different depth of water
It never hurts to have chain but I don’t have any on my stern anchor because I set it manually like he did in this video. Makes storing a little easier as well.

This is some very great training thank you.
great video and boat

I really loved watching your video. It was really helpful. Keep posting more such videos.

Da best tutorial and good quality 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👍👍
What is an ideal depth to stop and anchor down in this scenario???
Awesome video thanks
Glad you enjoyed! Be sure to subscribe for more!
Superb insight as I just learned something new. Thank you Sir.
I really appreciate these videos.. Thanks..
How big/small should the stern anchor be, 24 key west. Sandbars
Great video. What model Boston Whaler is this?

I think its better if u just beach or boat or still do the same but closer to the shore
Two questions. 1 do you raise a flag notifying everyone your anchored second question during a night time stay while you're angered is there a light flashing notifying people that you are stationary and anchored
How are you pulling the boat backward if you've first and already secured the bow anchor?
Richard Graham you’re just holding it in place with the rope so the boat don’t drift away when you pull the anchor out
Bunch cable sitting on the bottom or he’s letting cable out as he goes
do you really need a chain on 2nd anchor ?
now to adapt this technique to a small yacht without all that fancy winch nonsense.
Too bad you will have idiots ruining over your stern anchor line.
Ok, complete boating newbie but huge enthusiast - why or what cases would you need to use two anchors as you have in this scenario?
DTCigarFather I never bother with 2 anchors.
With 2 anchors your boat will not sway in changing winds. Also it's best to have your bow pointed into the waves and not your stern. If you need to control the boat from shore you can do so. If the tide has go down a little, once you get back on the boat you can pull on your bow line to get you to a proper depth so you don't have to start you motor/motors in the sand.
This is best for outboard motors. I/O not so much...
you dug your bow anchor in tight. what about big tidal changes?

Looks a little deep to jump in! The water is cold in Washington!
I beach my Ranger 20 sailboat in spots around Puget Sound, and do indeed get a little closer in! 😁
Yeah Alaska too. Made me cringe when he just jumped in.
Yeah .... how did you pull up the bow anchor .... the windlass just pulls it up right?
Ok I am a total beginner.
Anchors are easy to pull up when ur on top of them, anchors only work if ur on an angle thats why u need to let out a certain leght of rope at different depth of water
Slack tide almost zero wind and two feet of draft. Easy!
th-cam.com/video/Qngot9Aqo2M/w-d-xo.html I prefer this approach better! Hope you like it!
Never throw an anchor. ;)
He didn't, he tossed it. :)
@@geojones4718 Actually, he chucked it.
If you need all that crap to have a good outing on a boat...you don't need a boat, you need a psychiatrist. Waste of money.
Sounds like you're the one in need of psyco help.
