ohhenrygsr Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hey Guys what's the best size Anchor Rope for a 10Lb Anchor. Would a 1/4" poly Rope be ok or 3/8" be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 1/4 is a tad hard to get a hold of and pull in. I'd go 3/8ths... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taper Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I agree with Wayne 3/8 ths. Quarter can be a killer on your hands. Also If you can, spend the extra couple bucks and get a better quality rope that is soft. Don't opt for the cheap yellow polypropylene it does not hold knots very well and is tough on your hands. Lastly get a 4-6 foot length of chain to ad to the anchor end of your rope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Or even better, use the buoy and ring trick to bring up an anchor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 1/4" isn't that bad, but 3/8" is better... I'd go with a nylon instead of the cheap poly crap though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POLLIWOGG Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 For most this is going to be the only rope in the boat and if the poop hits the fan what are you going to do with a 1/4 " rope. I sure wouldn't want to tow with a 1/4" nylon. Prepare for the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
