What else can I help you with?
Which side of boat do you lower anchor line?
You lower the anchor line over the bow of the boat, not from the sides. This allows the anchor to drop straight down into the water and ensures it sets properly on the seabed. If you were to lower it from the side, the anchor might not deploy correctly, risking it dragging or becoming entangled. Always ensure the area is clear before dropping the anchor.

It's important to drop the anchor in a spot with good holding ground, such as sand or mud, to prevent it from dragging. Always ensure that the anchor is securely set before leaving it unattended.

What side do you anchor off of on a boat?
When anchoring a boat, you typically anchor off the bow (front) of the vessel. This positioning allows the boat to face into the wind and waves, providing better stability and reducing the chances of drifting. In certain situations, such as when using a stern anchor, you may anchor off the stern (rear) to hold the boat in a specific orientation. Always consider wind and current directions when determining the best anchoring position.
