I have several moorings to retrieve from a depth of up to 30 ft. They range in weight up to 800 Lbs. I am looking at Carter vs Prolift enclosed. Any input would be appreciated.
If you are in a tidal area it is just easier to put a frame on a 12' rowboat and crank it down at low tide. As the tide comes it it should pull the morings out. Make sure that you have equal pull on both sides of the boat so it doesn't flip. You can speed it up some by jetting the mud off of the top of the anchor.
But whatever you do make sure that you keep to the side of the moring as you put any lift on it especialy a bag tied in down low to the bottom. When the suction breaks the anchor is headed up real fast and can break your jaw if you are in the way.
I have found that I would rather use 2 or 3 or 4 bags to do a lift than a single large bag. the biggest issue though is the mud and suction. I have heard of and seen several barrels and other lifting devices leave the water with great force when used on items that are stuck in the muck. be careful.
I'm a carter guy.
