ANCHORING
Due to extreme varieties of conditions, anchor line and anchors are not
included with the product and must be purchased separately.
Attach the anchor line (not included) securely to the Anchor Ring(s) on the
bottom of the product. The number of anchor attachment points will vary
per model.
Please Note: There are many ways to anchor your products. Before
moving forward, it is best to consult your local regulations regarding what
types of anchors can be used in your area. Every location has different
conditions and demands, so you will have to determine what will work
best for your situation. Here are a few anchoring tips to get you started.
• 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
