Have a go though.

If theanchor sinks, then it must have an SD of greater than that of the water in the lake (1 for practical purposes).
Therefore the mass of the anchor divided by its volume must be more than 1, that is it will displace less volume of water when immersed, than water displaced to support it when in the boat.

I think that the water level will go down. I hope.
