Can someone tell me how to chose the correct anchor rope strength. So if a rope says it has a 380 lb strength, how big of a boat and how windy of a day will that handle, how about 500 lb rope, 700 lb, etc.... The reason I ask is because if you get "anchor rope" it costs you a fortune, but nylon rope, with some pretty high strength ratings, is usually more than half price. And the boats not hanging from the rope, so I guess i'm not sure how much force is actually being applied.
My specific application will be for a 17ft pontoon boat. It weighs 875 from the factory, add the motor, gear and 5 normal people, maybe 15 - 1800 total weight.
Thanks for any info.
