Anchor Buddy best thing since sliced toast.

We always carry an extra prop and tools to make the repair. We did change ours in the water this time as it was our only option, don't recommend that haha. But the extra prop came in handy this weekend! We also always carry two anchors, a standard mushroom style and a GruffTuff box anchor. Always carry garbage bags, last minute thing most forget to bring!

Anchor Buddy best thing since sliced toast.

Do you use the Anchor Buddy when you anchor your boat to swim or do you use it for mooring your boat with a shore line?

In addition to many of the items above I carry a spare ballast pump impeller and a basic tool set

Both just get the boat in 15' of water or less and toss it out no lines to mess with and it absorbs waves and wakes without dislodging the anchor.

I assume you are using a box anchor??

Get a Sand Spike with your anchor buddy. I also have hippy hop balls for little kids that I use for bumpers. They are for the 2-4 year olds and I do not inflate them all the way. Some get the glow in the dark type. They work so much better than a bumper. These are the balls you startle with a handle between your legs. When we were all much younger. They can be found on E-Bay for about $19.00 and get the $2.00 hand pump. They likely have them at your local Walmart.
