We just bought a newer used 24' pontoon and plan to dock it this next weekend for the summer at a river dock. I am trying to purchase what I will need and know that I need at least a 13lb river anchor with a 1/2" diamater nylon rope and of course the deck cleat to secure it with. Do I need one for the front and one for the back? Also, alot of the pontoons and houseboats here got damaged from the severe wind storm last year and I want to make sure that although I have it secured to the dock and anchored front and back that it won't get damaged if we have another one this year. Dumb question but how do I do that? Do I use those pillow type things that you put on the side of the boat closest to the dock and if so... how many do I need? Any help would be appreciated.
