i have the 60" 112 on a Nautic Star 224XTS. I've used the anchor feature nearly every offshore trip so far. There was only one trip where i couldn't and its because the seas were extremely choppy with a few waves being close to 3'ers with rolling white caps, which was pretty unfavorable conditions to be fishing in anyway.
Pretty much if there is a slight to good chop, it stays in the water. Conditions have to be pretty unfavorable for me not to use it, otherwise it works fine and is excellent on battery. I can use anchor feature all day offshore and have 75% left of battery when I get back home. I love the thing, so much easier than tossing and picking up anchor every time you need to make a big move or slight move.
