This mod adds the ability to anchor boats, jetskis, seaplanes, submersibles and amphibious helicopters to keep them in place.
Features
• Supports Auto or Manual anchor modes
• Anchor rope to the sea floor (Submersibles only)
• Adds individual anchor sound effects for each vehicle class
• Optional map markers for anchored vehicles
Requirements
• Latest Script Hook V
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x64)
Installation
1. Install ScriptHook V
2. Copy "AdvancedAnchor.asi" and "AdvancedAnchor.ini" into the GTA 5 root directory, where GTA5.exe is located.
Configuration
The mod can be configured by editing the "AdvancedAnchor.ini" file. Each setting is explained in the ini file
Anchor behavior
In auto-anchor-mode, the anchor will be dropped automatically when the player leaves the vehicle and retrieved when the player enters the vehicle.
In manual-anchor-mode, a key must be pressed (while inside of the boat) to drop or retrieve the anchor. If anchor key is pressed while driving, the vehicle will perform an emergency stop.
Both modes can also be mixed.
Known issue
When a submersible is anchored below sea level, it can be difficult to get back in sometimes. To fix this issue you can hold down the 'Enter-vehicle' key on your keyboard (default 'F') or controller to get teleported into the submersible.
Changelog
Version 2.1
• Volume of boat and jetski sound effects have been adjusted to better match the volume of the ingame sound effects
• A volume setting for the sound effects has been added (can be adjusted individial for each vehicle class in the ini file)
• Setting to disable sound effects is no longer ignored
Version 2.0
• Submersibles can be anchored submerged
• Adds ability to anchor amphibious helicopters
• Add help messages
• Partial controller support
Version 1.5
• Adds ability to anchor seaplanes
Version 1.0

Mod is now Open Source (code & license info available on Github)
when i tried to anchor my boat,game crashed(can't find native)
@dj_gta5 can you provide a crash log?
@JAM102970 Thanks for the clarification.
@PsychoDad it was an other mod it crashed my game..a mod for lock a vechicle..
@PsychoDad Good work, the mod works wonders. Are you working on something new? Since your mods are well polished I would like to suggest you to recreate some of Jedijosh mods that are glitchy or just broken. For example, making the food vendors to actually work, bring to SP the bike animations from BIKERS DLC, etc. Those would be nice to have them work properly
@gunziness Thank you gunziness. Unfortunately I don't have time to work on new mods anymore. Nevertheless I will maintain all of my existing mods, e.g. in case a new patch is breaking something.
I've been using this mod for a couple days now and it's in my top 3 best mods that I've used, up there with NVR for me. Really nice job!
thanks @rhtb420 that's nice of you to say.
hell yea rwdy for some aweso,e diving. hope this works wee. looking forward to it thanks for making it/ I have your fixesa too. will thumb up all three soon I always forget.
@Weiner-hands_Boi Thanks, don't forget to smash that like button :P
Does this mod work the same way as the old LeFixAnchor mod? I am still using that mod from back when it was available to download on here, works great. But I am curious on how your anchor mod is. I use a xbox controller for pc gaming and was curious if this mod was gamepad compatible. I downloaded it and I don't see any controller options in the .ini. Do you hold d pad right while in a boat to anchor? Can't wait to try this! :)
@TrustNo1 Interesting. I didn't even know that there was another anchor mod. Do you know why it was removed? Now I'm curious myself how different they are. The only reason I havn't implemented controller support was that I didn't know what would be the best way to make the controller input configurable. But now when I think about it, I guess the only options are the Light-key and the Honk-Key. Implementing controller support with a fixed input key (e.g. light key) would be easy. I can do that in the next update.
@PsychoDad
Yeah, I am not even sure why it was removed. Luckily I kept the mod with the rest of my archived mods lol. It works quite well actually. You just stop the boat your in and hold d pad right until the boat engine stops. I havent tried it in the water plane or pontoon heli though so not sure if that works. Thats why I was curious about yours, I like the plane/heli anchor idea, sounds cool. :)
Thanks for this great addon! It makes using the boats so much nicer.
are the vehicles persistent after you anchor them?
@DARKDEMON1151 They last longer when anchored, but eventually they will despawn. If you're using Menyoo, best bet is to use 'spooner' to 'save it in the database' so it won't despawn until you end the session. Otherwise you'll have to 'save' it with another trainer.
Anyway you can vehicle persistence built into the mod so when you start a new session your vehicles will still be where you left them
Great mod, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much @PsychoDad.
simple but effective, doesn't beat that
