Recently, I had a couple customer questions. The first was about anchor rode scope. He is new to boating and anchoring. After a long discussion, I created a sheet. He found it useful and suggested I share it. It has four different sheets to select from: 1. The user has to add the height of the bow roller to the sea level to the report water depth from sea level to seabed. Formula used in the calculation of the rode length for a specific scope is based on the total depth. 2. The math formula to calculate the rode length for a specific scope ratio as the bow roller to sea level distance added. If the depth of the water is 10 feet and the roller to sea level is 6 feet, the formula uses 16 feet to calculate the length of rode. 3. The math formula to calculate the rode length for a specific scope ratio as the bow roller to sea level distance added. If the depth of the water is 10 feet and the roller to sea level is 7 feet, the formula uses 17 feet to calculate the length of rode. 4. The math formula to calculate the rode length for a specific scope ratio as the bow roller to sea level distance added. If the depth of the water is 10 feet and the roller to sea level is 8 feet, the formula uses 18 feet to calculate the length of rode. In the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sheets the user only has to know the water depth (usually from the depth sounder) and formula includes the roller height in the calculation.
