Sand anchor tool?

[Marvin willis]

When I go to the lake for Vacation everyone uses screw down anchors. I use to bring dive gear to screw down the anchors for the boat and wave runners but I stopped doing that and just hold my breath. That takes a long time and after feeling like I’m gonna drown every year I need to make a new plan. Some ppl have a t bar extension that they use to screw down the anchor without having to dive down Anyways. Is this something I can buy or do i need to make one? I can’t be the only one with this problem. Thanks

Well, for sand I have:
- a box anchor off the bow; this is my 'normal' anchoring device
- if I am in the shallows, I will toss the box anchor off the stern and then use an eye anchor from Home Depot (https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Tie-D...38rk-zcdDKkWL_b7hfB7Q7XLrWT18g7hoCIE4QAvD_BwE) - not sure if that is exactly what I bought, but it is close. I use a spare piece of rebar in the eye to turn it....

Hope that helps.

Like this It’s permanent for the week. Lots of boats and if you don’t “reserve” your spot someone will take it.

Exactly. Not marine and all, but cheap and works for as often as I use it...

I have a sandshark aluminum tube anchor that adjusts and has built in T handle. And you can adjust the height. It was pricey but the boat stays even in tide changes or heavy winds.
