Got my 2007 Montauk 170 and need to get a decent anchor for the river and lakes ... mostly 10-15' deep. Looking at a Fortress Marian Guardian aluminum anchor ... it is a lightweight 6 pounds (replaces steel anchors of 7-10 pounds). Shank is 22" long ... anchor locker isn't very big ... anybody use an anchor with a shank that long? I am getting a heavy duty 3.5 gallon bucket to notch out for the flukes (13" wide on this anchor), and for 100' of 3/8" rode. Comments appreciated.
