the locator i got and set up works great. the velcro holds stong and doesnt wobble/make noise. our trip is officially scheduled for june 14th so im pumped. as for anchors, we use some nylony canvas type bags that are meant for sandbags for the legs of party tents. i found them super cheap. we use them for filling with rocks for anchors, and also for sinking laker fillets to marinade in lemon juice.
