Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

Noelex, have you considered carrying a thin rod with you when you dive to photograph anchors? With it you might be able to probe the substrate in suspect areas and determine if there was in fact a...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

Ann,

Mantus dis- and re-assembly

Noelex,
How long was your old shank in service before you changed it for the stronger version? Was it difficult to remove the bolts, or to otherwise disassemble the shank? Was there any rust either...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

Sorry about that. :flowers: I'll try to make it up to you someway. But your rock/anchor photos are enlightening. Still hoping you can find some heavy weed. :smile:

weed and rocks

Noelex,

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

Keiron, thanks for the suggestion. Is there a reason why it is so large? Would it work effectively if it were substantially smaller, say 300mm square? Maybe it was large just so it would float well...
