Taco,

 

A couple of things:

 

1) make sure the pipe ends are ground smooth so not to wear boat.

2) test run the anchor on the boat to make sure that the anchor can't contact the boat.

 

Remember that:

1) the anchor will swing forth and back when rowing.

2) Scotty anchor systems stick only a few inches over the side of the boat.

3) anchors dragging in the water increase rowing effort required.

 

Set up the boat on saw horses to check anchor.

 

 

Regards,

 

Don

Don: Re#3 Row????? what's that?

[Taco]

Yeah it gonna work Don. Runnin' the anchor up snug to the scotty will minimize any rubbin'. Bigger anchor come in just under 13lbs and the little lead one is just over 6. If I can get around to buildin' a mold I may convert the little one to a pyramid style.

Angler,

 

Rowing is for old guys that know motors reduce the length of time you youngun's pay into our persions.

 

Rowing increases heart rate, lung capacity, motor skills, limb strength which when all sumed up - rowers become Chipandale performers for the over 60 crowd.

 

Taco,

 

A friend utilized one of the weight lifter weights on the bottom of his light anchor. Worked like a hot damn.
