When anchoring a boat at night, first ensure you are in a safe and well-lit area to avoid hazards. Use a reliable anchor suitable for the seabed type, and let out enough scope—generally 5-7 times the depth of the water. Once anchored, check that the boat is secure and monitor for any drift. Finally, keep navigational lights on and maintain a lookout for other vessels.

you should avoid throwing the anchor as far away from the boat as possible and back up
You should anchor from the bow of the boat, as this helps maintain the boat's stability and allows it to swing freely with the wind and current. Anchoring from the stern can cause the boat to pivot awkwardly and may lead to swamping or capsizing. Additionally, anchoring from the bow keeps the anchor line clear of the boat's movement and minimizes the risk of entanglements with the propeller.
