Pontoon boat advice.

[shake-n-bake]

Just purchased a 9 foot pontoon boat. Looking for advise on what style of anchor and weight to purchase. Boat will be used on still water only.

Thanks in advance..

Pyramid anchords 10lbs or 15lbs.

5 lb folding grapnel works for me. If you are going to be out in real windy conditions you will need 10-12 lbs. I might get another 5 lb to use one in the front and one in the back to keep the pontoon from swinging a lot in 15+Km winds.

I use a 10lb pyramid, works great

Pyramid and two anchors is a must to be effective on still water. (IMO)

I spend upwards of 90 days a year in a pontoon boat while fishing from Manitoba>BC. I use a 5 lb. anchor <> 95% of the time.
Only need a 10 lber. If fishing sandy bottom lakes.
Never saw a reason for front mounted anchor. Friends installed them - lasted a couple of trips and disappeared.
Fin control works just fine to hold you.
