    TR186 anchor

    Hi guys,

    what would be a good anchor to buy? not fighting a major current, fish mostly reservoir.
    Edit: this is for a 2000 TR186 w/ 150hp XR6.

    Please advise.

    It depends on the lake bottom and how windy it is. I have a 15lb anchor. I should probably have two ( front and back ) if I used it a lot. A light breeze one would do.
