I am thinking of giving it another go, though, running a stern anchor out as well. Wish the Bluetooth connection on my Minn Kota was more reliable, so I could use the anchor lock function!

Hey Berlyguts i have done the beach and park at shoalbay when the waves are not big and it's worked ok just using the bow anchor. i have also dropped the Bow anchor about 8 - 10mtrs from shore and then reversed in and use the stern anchor to hold the boat in place when waves and wind are a issues while I parked the car.

Thanks Jeff. Yeah, that's what I was thinking of doing. However, there is an advantage to Soldiers Point ramp... not having to get your feet wet! Especially in winter! ?

jeffb5.8 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 True and not having wet feet in winter is a good start. Soldiers is a great ramp with plenty of room and great pontoons plus the run to the heads is not bad either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
