My experience is the same. The box only holds when its calm out. FX-11 is super light and holds like a champ. I have the wife throw it off the side while backing up and then she walks it to the bow.

Thanks All for your thoughts with my anchor issue. I think I will see about fabricating a anchor box on the bow. Had this setup on my magnum sedan and it worked well. Not sure I have a space for the line and chain to round up but if not, I think I will go with the fortress anchor and call it a day.

Hello boatless, thanks for the congrats. I boat mostly in the Peconic but do a lot of weekend excursions. Essex, Guilford, Rhode Island, and Sea Cliff and Glen Cove areas.

Sea Cliff/Glen Cove are nice areas. I live upstate now, but I used to live a few minutes from Manhasset Bay- if you ever find yourself in there check out LaMotta's....great food and has a gas dock.

Congrats on joining the Cig club!
I do the same as Zero Patience. Fortress FX-11 with 5' of coated chain...rope out of back seat, drop over side, walk the line up to the bow to tie off...have the wife feed the line. Good luck!

Thanks for everyone's reply's it has been very helpful.
Now I have some additional help from the Cigerette clan. Can I get some ideas for a GPS location on the Cafe Racer. Not having fun figuring a good spot.
Thanks Again for the Help
