I think all have been used sufficiently since Irma to have csome confidence in them, BUT... Always back down on ball. Reverse engines steady at 1@1500 rpm... If it breaks off, better "now" than in middle of night. Also suggest using Anchor Alarm such as "Anchor Alarm Pro" or "Drag Queen", even when on a mooring ball.
