[QUOTE="airshot, post: 503676, member: 1183"] You need an anchor winch designed for a chain or have the winch far enough back to allow the chain to lay without winding onto the winch. Chains do help in holding but...on a small boat winch...probably won,t work. There is a small anchor called a "Chene" anchor that works well without a chain, but not designed to just drop down as they are very light in weight. They need to be "set" once they are, they hold very well and have a release system to make them easy to pull out. Again...it all depends on what the conditions your anchoring in. When I had my 22 Islander we would move all over the lake anchoring in various different conditions....I carried three different anchors to get the best hold when conditions were rough. [/QUOTE]
