    Three to five feet of anchor line for every foot of depth. The anchor chain acts as a weight to keep your anchor laying down on the bottom, thus helping it to dig in. In a fresh water lake, you can...

    It depends on the size and weight of your boat. The heavier it is, floating it off starts to look like a good idea. If you can handle it, jacking it off the trailer on one side with hydraulic jacks...

    Don't rig up anything half-baked on your boat. You will likely regret it later. You don't want electrical sparks on the boat (gasoline fumes), so the alligator clips is a bad idea. The automotive...
