It fell and fell and never reached bottom because my front rope had been shortened!:D I sat there embarassed while it dangled off the bow above the bottom!

I don't even want to think how much rope ($$$) one "should" have to set two anchors in 140-150 ft of water!!

I'd hate to have to hand pull them anchors up!

If yall know anyone that works for tlhe power company or one of its underground contractors , We use rolled duct , it comes in 1300 feet lenths, it also has the "ribbon" inside it to pull the cable in with, it has foot marks it , doesnt rot & a 50 horse motor wont break it in a dead pull, alot of times it is thrown away
