David, that was a concern of mine too; but, while it may make the anchor
bite a bit more, it is not difficult to remove. Once the rode is
Up-and-down
(anchor under bow,) cleat it down and power fwd for a few seconds. That
will
break loose a danforth or Fortress from mud or sand.

Chris,

Do you really run it in reverse at anchor? I guess that allows you to run
at
a high RPM, and charge better & quicker. But wouldn't that dig your anchor
in something fierce? Ever have trouble pulling it loose?

I had never thought of doing that. I guess you need to keep a good watch &
make sure you don't drag.

Do others run in reverse at anchor?
