RedactedNarrative: The anchor was dropped off the bow of the boat. The fish finder read twelve feet, so the operator deployed 150 feet of anchor lince. After about 120 feet, the operator put the boat in reverse to make the anchor stick. He looked backwards and didn't see anything but noticed the water was choppy. Another 30 seconds passed, the fish finder was up to four feet. The operator throttled down, heard two thumps and the engine quit. When the operator lifted the outdrive up to check on it, he noticed it was swaying from side to side in the waves. There was damage to the propeller and the skeg of the outdrive.  Made it back to port in Waterford under own power.
