    Fourth time was a charm in anchoring. Dropped 55 lb mantus M2 in 10 feet of water which held at 1000 rpm but broke out at 2000 rpm. Made two attempts in areas open areas. Dropped out at 25 feet closer to the channel which probably gets less use. Dug hard and held at 2000 rpm after skidding for 10'feet. We have a heavy 22k pound double ender with 57 hp yanmar. YMMV
