I am going to get a Delta anchore for my Seafarer. I am going to use a Lewmar profish 700 w/ 200' of 1/2 " and 15' of 1/4 "chain. I am in SW Florida by Boca Grande and will use in the Gulf and Bays of the area.
Should I go to the 14lb or the 22lb.

What are you thoughts or opinions.

I am thinking that the 22lb will self deploy better than the 14lb based on the discussions of Grady's and windlasses

Thanks

I have a 228 here in FLL with a 14lb. Delta (polished stainless). It works great! Sets instantly, holds well and is easy to retrieve. I don't do any overnighting but if I did I wouldn't worry. I've used Deltas on several other boats (up to 80 feet) and IMHO they are the best.

Cheers,
Dan
