If you do a search on 'anchor washdown', you should find threads with lots of good info. Just click the link at the bottom of this post.

Years ago, I installed a 12V Jabsco 4 GPM pump, a recessed canister with hose and brass nozzle mounted at the bow and switched at the lower helm. It's not the most powerful, but the pressure builds within 10 secs. I've never come home with mud on the anchor.

BTW, I anchor regularly for fishing....often 5-7 times per day, 3-6 days per month.
