RAVE Sports Sky Totter - Manual (Page 9)

• Nylon rope holds up the best in water and sun. Lines do eventually
wear out, so it’s important to check them periodically.
• Choose a location that is most protected from the wind, of sufficient
water depth and free of obstructions a safe distance in all directions.
• A minimum of 150-200 lbs. of anchor weight per anchor point is
recommended for most applications; however, larger products on
larger bodies of water may require more.
• Bell anchors are not typically recommended since they are easily
dragged, especially on flat, sandy bottoms. Screw-type or more
permanent toggle-type anchors may be necessary in more extreme
conditions.
• Attaching a heavy duty shock cord to the anchor line is
recommended to help absorb vertical movements of the product due
to waves and normal use. An Anchor Connecting System (part #
01024) is available through RAVE Sports and does include this heavy
duty shock cord.
• Adjust length of anchor line so that it is approximately 1-2 ft. longer
than the depth of the water. The RAVE Sports anchor connector shock
cord will provide 2-3 ft. of stretch to absorb waves and any vertical
motion. NOTE: More slack in the anchor line may improve anchor
holding performance, but too much slack may allow the product to
flip over in strong winds. For best results, maximize your anchor
holding power via more weight or a different type of anchor and
minimize your anchor line length.
A forsheda (amortisator) or a bungee harness can be used to decrease the
stress on the anchor rope, anchor plates and the product.
Mark line by attaching a buoy or other float to the end of your anchor line
when not in use. You’ll find it easier to identify the location of your anchor.
