bumpers, Anchors?

x14 on the box anchor...best there is IMO. My "small" will hold my 24ft boat plus my brothers pontoon. I had 3 other anchors before that and either hated them cause I had to reset, or had to have a chain hooked to anchor which is not kind to gelcoat. Depending on your boat size you may be able to get an "x-small" box anchor (do they make those?).
I have not used anchor buddy and been fine but its probably a good idea

I have BABZ too. Super quick to blow up with pump (guessing like 20 seconds) I have not tried it manually cause I always have a pump in boat. To deflate, I just pull the pick and toss them on floor and they self-deflate, they fold up pretty small. You cannot beat them for any tie up to another boat, they also work well for docks and I only use 2 of them cause they are big/round and hold the boat off dock a good ways (1 at back and 1 at middle), with my other oversized fenders I carried 3 and also had one at bow.

I love hearing happy BABz customers!

To add to the box anchor/anchor buddy... the picture below is how I do mine. I know a lot of guys don’t do that “safety line”. But I would hate to lose my box anchor. In addition to the main long anchor line, I have a 7ft anchor buddy type line (made by airhead) I use in really shallow coves. Obviously don’t use any other safety lines with that one.

I actually have the “small” and “large” box anchor. The large is way overkill. I think that thing could hold a cruise ship. But when there’s 10 boats tied up to me on a crowded cove, I like knowing I’m not going anywhere.
