I'm thinking about changing out my plow anchor to a Fortress. I know it requires changing the chute. Has anyone done this? I would appreciate any opinions, thoughts, cautions.
Thanks
I can absolutely second this! Exactly my experience. If your Delta FS comes lose too often in certain conditions, go one size up and I am positive you will not experience a dragging anchor any longerI've had Danforth, Fortress and now a Delta. Our anchorages are either sand, mud or gravel. The Fortress was not good in any of those conditions. The Danforth was ok but could be tough to set. The Delta is superb in these conditions. Free drop it until it hits the bottom; back down to adjust scope; secure rode to cleat; back down and it is set. It seldom takes us more than a minute to be fully dug in. If you have lots of weeds where you anchor, the Fortress may not set at all unless you use lots of chain.
Well now, my experience has been in sand and mud/clay on Mead and Powell with a Fortress. It always seemed to set quickly and hold. I haven't had the same experience with the plow. Also the Fortress is lighter, putting less load on the windlass and the boat. Is there a big difference between the Delta Fast Set and the standard plow the Sea Ray's come equipped with?
Thanks for all the input.
