This is why I put this up here to be laughed at! LOL The Ohio site says anchor rope or tow rope but does not give any details also a flag. I was thinking all I needed to get was flares. I have Jackets,throwable ,fire extinguisher. anchor ropes i have are 50' . not sure if it needs to be a certain length or size.

Anchor rode should be 7X deeper than you plan to anchor for best holding power.
Here's a decent article.
