Anchoring a boat and how to use a boat anchor properly can be challenging for a new boater. If you want to know the basics of how to anchor a boat this video shows how to properly use your boat anchor to anchor your boat - primarily new boater tips. I show setting an anchor and how an anchor sets in the river bottom. I also cover how to trip an anchor or releasing an anchor. In addition I show and discuss some of the different types of anchors including mushroom anchor, river anchor and danforth anchor or fluke anchor. There is a lot to know about boat anchoring and I cover the basics and fundamentals of anchoring for beginning boaters or new boaters.
