When preparing to retrieve the anchor, position your boat directly above or slightly upwind of the anchor's location. This allows for the anchor line to be vertical, reducing the chance of snagging and making retrieval easier. Ensure that you have enough space to maneuver and avoid obstacles in the water. Additionally, keep the boat in gear to maintain position as you pull up the anchor.
When preparing to retrieve your anchor, ensure that your boat is positioned directly above the anchor's location and that the wind or current is minimal to avoid drifting. Gradually bring in the anchor line while keeping an eye on the depth and any obstacles below. Once the anchor is visible, carefully pull it aboard, ensuring it's free of debris. Finally, secure the anchor in its designated storage area to prevent it from shifting during your journey.
The position of an anchor just clear of the sea floor is called the "anchor rode." This term refers to the length of chain or rope that connects the anchor to the boat. When the anchor is properly set, it should be resting on the sea floor while the rode holds the boat in place.
You should throw the anchor from the bow (front) of the boat. This position allows the boat to drift backward and the anchor to set properly on the seabed without interference from the vessel's movement. It's important to ensure that the anchor line is clear of any obstacles to avoid tangling. Always ensure the anchor is securely deployed before leaving the area.
Boat anchor lights have either a white or a clear lens, and should have 360 degree visability.

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.
