Was thinking of buying this to use at a lake. Are the anchors going to work in the water? Thanks.

Yes but you will have to use some additional weight to keep it from floating. We used some stones.

This was used in a pool and my granddaughters who are young teens and very active in sports really enjoyed it.

Hi!We use ours in a pool but it should work in a lake as well. We have gotten 4 uses out of the unit so far. Despite the cheap price and average construction, the anchors will hold since you can fill them with rocks, etc.

It should work fine in a lake, also. It is not heavy duty but you should be able to enjoy it for several or even many days.

Yes, this will work in a lake. The anchors are small bags you load with rocks which you tie to the net. The materials are strong. Ours lasted the entire summer and is stored for use next season.

I would say that depends. This anchor will suffice on a rocky bottom, but may not set on certain bottom types and a 24 ft boat could pull this off. My boat is also 24 ft, and I find using two anchors generally works best - one hook anchor and one river anchor. I have them tied together in a "V" with about 4 ft. of chain, then tied to my anchor line. They kind of fight each other and ensure that my anchors are always set. Even two of these would work, but on sandy bottoms they just won't set (which is why I use a river anchor as my second).

Not sure what you are asking because these are intended to be mounted on a concrete slab or footing and if you are wanting to support a fence on solid ground then you will to dig up the old post and reinstall with concrete. But if fence is going across a concrete driveway or similar then yes it will work with proper concrete anchors.

You have alot of weight there(ski) and if the wind is blowing? If anchor can hook up with something on the bottom you might be good to go or stay. Have Fun

A 10# mushroom anchor should be more than enough unless used in high wind conditions. Even a 5# weight would suffice in non wind and non current conditions.

I have a 15' jon boat and the 8 lb anchor worked fine for me. Of coarse if the winds exceed 30 mph then you may want to head back to shore! LOL!

No, they are open around the anchor but they are only going to let water under pressure. I was in a heavy rain and very little water got in but when I went through the car wash there was a lot more.

Yes this will work. I have used it many pulls out on the Lake. I havent experianced any problems. Got it for a great price!

There is an eye bolt on the bow that could be used to tie the boat to lock it. Not sure about an anchor, it's not a very heavy boat and has weight limit of 425lbs, so I wouldn't suggest a very heavy one. We just got the boat and have had it out once, we really like it, seems stable and not too heavy to move around. Hope this helps.

It does not come with an anchor, but there are hard plastic loops you can tie a rope to. You will probably need an anchor for this and it can definitely be anchored to the bottom of a lake for a while.

We haven't had winds that strong since I installed it but I think it will hold up if installed properly. The anchors seem very well made to me. Hope that helps.

I would not recommend this anchor for the Cool Island. This anchor is perfect for anchoring my float tube. The cool island quite a bit larger than a float tube and allows for multiple people to be on it at any given time. There are several heavier duty anchors that would be more appropriate for your intended usage.

i use a 30lb river anchor and it works perfect i wouldnt have a boat without one of these on my boat!

Ok I just went out and looked at then D rings, they look strong enough to hold a 5lb. anchor and will hold you and the float tube in a brisk wind. I should get an anchor myself as I had a couple of issues last season on our lake where I had to peddle fairly hard against a breeze to get back to shore. I'm considering a small extended propeller I can operate with and battery powered drill. On the main bladder question. I used my compressor and blower attachment with the rubber tip. Pressed it in to the valve stem and pressed the release and blew it up in seconds. The compressor was at 75lbs. I hope this helps.

Unless there are gale force winds, yes I believe the anchor will work well on the paddle board.

sorry for the delayed response. We have used one like this for our15' rib in the ocean. We bought this for the same boat for lake use. I assume it will hold!

There would be no way to anchor it down. I have tried to use it on my pool deck for my little one and find that unless it is anchored down with the stakes that the corners want to kind of curl inward making it difficult to use. Had I gotten a trial with this before deciding to purchase it or not, I would NOT have purchased as one of my primary purposes in purchasing was to use on the pool deck.
