Palmtree Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Hi, The flat round type mudweight, is there any studies to prove they are better than the semi conical shape? Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_9 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Don’t think any studies have been done Ian, there a many on “proper†anchors but not on mudweights. That said physics would dictate that a larger presented surface area (provided it has penetrated) would have greater “pull out†in the mud.

Guest Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 If I recall correctly that oblong lump of yours proved rather hard to retrieve from the bottom of Malthouse Broad, Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 The ole Bayliner had 1.5 mtrs of chain on a rope for a mudweight, needless to say it wasnt much good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmtree Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Jill, When we purchased Tamara her mudweight was 2x56s. I think that was when my bad back started.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
