The big end of a round Clorox bottle would face forward—assuming you're using an inexpensive 5-pound mushroom anchor (for soft sand and mud)."...And to be clear it's just one Clorox bottle secure to the bow handle with the tapered neck facing fore so that the anchor hangs in front of the bow instead of on top of it..."
For clarity, I've photographed a medium-sized container attached as suggested. The line with stripes is posing as the anchor line, and runs through the container to the cockpit.I'm still wondering how exactly I can secure the tide container onto the bow handle. By rope? Tape? How exactly? -Tristan
