Cooper Anchor 1Kg/2.2lb - Nylon - PWC Anchor Jetski Anchor and Boat Anchor to 3.5m/12ft

After we had spent some time at a sandbar and the tide had come in, my friend showed me his Cooper Anchor. We were hanging out in a spot that sometimes produces a pretty strong current when the tide goes back in (Bordentown Beach, Delaware River). An anchor securing three jet skis was attached to him- Each of them lined up in waist-deep and later chest-deep water to fight against a current that made it hard to walk without holding on. My own anchor line has since been purchased, so I have 50ft of it with an in-line anchor - I won't use that type of line now A chain eight feet long is tied every ten feet to the rope and anchor. A knot every ten feet. When the scope is correct, this anchor will take root in the riverbed and will hold on until the water dries up or you pull it out of the water.

I purchased this for my Yamaha Waverunner VXR 2019. I have not had the opportunity to use it in deep water or swells of any significance yet, but it is certainly My goal was to find a lightweight anchor that wouldn't beat the tar out of my storage compartment in the front, and that wouldn't take up a lot of space. Cooper Anchors are known the world over for their strength, so a quick Google search revealed that they are trusted by people all over the world. One thing I have learned from my preliminary tests done on the shore of our backyard pond is that you should always pay attention to the instructions about how much chain and rope to use, as well as the water-depth. The term "scope" refers to this, and it is a concept that has been used by mariners for hundreds of years, if not thousands. Typically, I find that nylon rope in sections approximately 4 feet long produces the best results in my application From the anchor there is a section of rope approximately six feet long, followed by a section of chain approximately four feet long, and then you have more rope to get to the watercraft from the other end of the chain. On the surface end of the anchor line, a 8-foot length of nylon was used a plastic bouy of about 2 inches (one can find it on Amazon for a few bucks), and a quick-release galvanized pipe This is the release carabiner (also found on Amazon) that will attach to the front eyelet in the waverunner hull. In that way, if I accidentally drop the anchor line, I will not have to drop my anchor, chain, and line along with it to the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay. Last, but not least, I discovered a cheap fabric style "Drawstring gym backpack" (again, Amazon) that cradles the anchor, chain, and 60 feet of nylon line so they can all be tucked away nicely in the bilge until I need them. While the Cooper Anchor is an intriguing concept, it relies more on physics than on brute force and sheer weight to maintain its stability. Having said that, I have no doubt it can be trusted under nominal conditions, especially on a calm day. It has anchored on the beach and is a few feet from the watercraft. How much is the risk of using it to anchor in 40 feet of open water with a powerful current or big tidal swings? It's probably not going to happen. With a weight of just 1kg (a little more than 2lb), the safety of the anchor very much depends on having the anchor and line set up for the absolute best scope for the particular water depth you are Thus, I wouldn't rely on it as much as I would a traditional anchor weighted down by a heavier chain. Nevertheless, maybe when I utilize it more and develop trust in it, I will be pleasantly surprised.

A 20 mph wind blew with my ski set into the wind on a sandy bottom with another ski attached to mine but neither ski moved! The entire cast is worth the money, and the show is.

I have no idea how this anchor works, it does not catch on sandy areas. Even though it is collapsible, it might work for a rocky area. In sandy areas, however, it is not effective at I recommend you do not purchase it!.

After failing with two other types of PWC anchors, this one digs in and holds the Seadoo in place, with no drifting down the beach As soon as I saw the recommended method for quick current/tide conditions, I made my way straight to the anchor line using 6' of rope and 6' of chain.

My new purchase must be returned to the store now. The anchors I bought for my jet skis weighed one kilogram each. There is no way to get it into the sand, so it can only hold jetskis in Florida (Atlantic), and I don't think it could even hold a kayak when the current is light. The setting will not work! The technique might be useful elsewhere or in the rocks, I'm not sure, but it's totally useless at this location. Our two jet skis were put to the test for two days. Not a thing!.

There were a lot of boats and PWCs at an airshow I recently attended. A boat chop and a strong wind made the water choppy. My usual method is to use sand bags, but on this day I had to repeatedly reload the bags To keep the sandbags from drifting, position them strategically. An anchor was thrown out by a person on a PWC, then the person walked He never moved his watercraft from the anchor it was anchored to, and this went on for several hours. I finally found the guy, and he showed me what he was using. It was a It has been a great product for me ever since I ordered it. It holds right where you throw it. You can just throw it and it falls right where you threw it. Adding a 4 foot marine grade chain and 4 foot bungee line made it easy to wind and unwind the hammock.

When I finally got it to catch, it took several tries to get it to hold. It was a Christmas gift, and I took it out the next weekend. I pulled up near shore and threw it in, but it took several tries. Cover hole at top with wrap).
