Default Re: steel wreck anchors

I've always felt its safer. & easier to pop a stubborn anchor from cockpit. UR winch may not get the job done , so I always ran my wreck anchor from cockpit chocked bow & if stuck floated an oversize ball to assist in the breakaway !
Usually got it up using several methods but my boat weighed in @ 17 k + & usually pop the anchor if it was a wreck style .
It's cumbersome to dislodge or work on an anchor via bow route .
Tuna anchoring ditto always floated via cockpit , anchored as well ,
