Much easier, especially for bigger anchors and deep water. just don’t clear it off in the back as you don’t want to pull the transom down....

Thanks....No I wont try pulling from the transom.....heard of too many sunken boats due to that maneuver. I had tried bouncing the bow up and down in the chop while taking up the slack around the sampson post.....also tried moving the boat and pulling from the opposite direction... didn't work. Not worth risking life and limb I know.....when I can just buy another.
