Tried out the new Fortress today. Anchored in 10 feet with a ten foot tide and 5 for the boat for a total of 25'. Put out 120' of chain and 5' of line since the winds should be light.
Roughly 5/1 at high tide.
The Fortress took a bit longer to set than the Rocna.
With 120' out we did a mini set
Then slowly raised the throttle to 2000rpm and let it dig in for a couple of minutes
Then briefly ran up to 3000 rpm for a power set.
This is a new technique for me. I used to stop at 2000rpm out of fear of yanking the little
anchors out. By raising rpm slowly the anchor hopefully digs in deeper without yanking it loose.
Light winds so we didn't drop the kettle balls.
Excited to try the fortress in same exact place the Rocna dragged.
