Anchor Wash down Systems

MikeBr · #1 (**permalink**) 07-13-2001

I have a 38'' Beneteau. I have starting doing a lot of anchoring in the Chesapeake Bay and quickly discovered I need to be able to washdown the anchor rode. I have a lot of extra space in the anchor locker.

Any suggestions from the old salts out there?

Mike, If you don''t like the bucket routine, I''ve had several charter boats where they have mounted a small salt water electric pump in the anchor well with a few feet of hose to clean the anchor and rode as it comes in.

See the latest edition of Sail magazine. There is an article on just this subject.
