More Than an Anchor

Identifying the proper anchor size for a boat is not a perfect science. Boat type, boating conditions, amount of rode and rope used, among other factors, all contribute to the ideal anchor for a given situation. An anchor is but one part of an anchoring system.

The Anchor Line

The anchor line, also known as the anchor rode, is a crucial part of the system. Its stretchy, elastic characteristics prevent any destructive jerking from damaging the anchor system when waves push or pull on your boat. Both 3-strand twisted and braided nylon ropes do a great job.

The Lead Chain

The lead chain is also an important part of the anchoring system because it adds weight to the shank of the anchor, providing a better dig or bite into the bottom. These lead chains usually come in galvanized steel or stainless steel, but can also come coated to prevent damaging your vessel.

Shackles & Swivels

Other anchoring accessories can also support the system. Shackles allow the anchor system to take on more loads from a variety of directions. They are composed of sturdy materials like galvanized steel. Swivels alleviate the potential damage of twisting and turning from the boat's movement.

Choosing an Anchor: Water Conditions

Water conditions are a big factor in how you anchor your boat. Coastal and open waters leave your vessel subject to wind, waves, and currents - requiring a more substantial anchor and rode. Anchoring for rivers and smaller lakes tends to be less critical since the boat is rarely subject to strong winds or currents.

Choosing an Anchor: Boat Length

Boat Length is another factor to consider when selecting an anchor. It is a reference point for selecting the ideal size anchor for your vessel. However, keep in mind that the recommended sizes are typically meant for ideal conditions. Consider the boat's weight and external factors like the wind when selecting an anchor's size or weight.

Choosing an Anchor: Bottom Type

When selecting an anchor, it's important to consider the bottom types that you will encounter. Whether it's grass, weeds, mud, rocks or sand, make sure your anchor will perform adequately. If you expect to run into multiple bottom types, versatile plow or scoop-style anchors are an excellent all-around choice.

Choosing an Anchor: Anchor Type

Identifying the proper anchor size for a boat is not a perfect science. Many factors contribute to the ideal anchor for a given situation. An anchor is but one part of an anchoring system. We show anchor boat sizes that are appropriate for most boats under normal, safe boating conditions, when used in conjunction with the other anchoring elements as are generally recommended for proper anchoring.

User questions & answers

Question:	Dimensions of 13 lb when folded
Answer:	My guess is that some people mount it to the battery box and some to a metal frame or fiberglass all varying in different thickness which would require a different length screw based on your mounting surface.
Question:	How long is this anchor
Answer:	As you can see one guy says 275 amps. If true that's way way more amps than any RV battery circuit.

User questions & answers

Question:	In the advertising, its says the 5 & half anchor comes with 50' line, then as you read down there saying 25' of line. Which is correct
Answer:	The 5.5 lb anchor by Airhead (Prime) came with 50' of line machine attached. It is a nice heavy duty anchor, and it arrived in less than 24 hours from ordering.
Question:	What material is the anchor made of? Does it come in other colors
Answer:	We do not have information regarding what the anchor is made of...it does not come in other colors 5-1/2 pound 4-fluke folding anchor will hold in mud, sand, gravel and rock Anchor is coated to protect finishes Durable nylon storage case is padded for added protection 25 ft. long marine-grade rope, with an in-line buoy
Question:	I won't buy the 5.5 lb anchor unless I am assured that it comes with 50' of line. Can the seller state that unequivocally
Answer:	I just measured the length of the rope very accurately. I placed 2 pieces of masking tape on the side of my boat exactly 3 feet apart. I then pulled 17 three foot lengths and there was 1 foot remaining. Math tells us the (3 x 17) + 1 = 52 feet. I can unequivocally state that the actual length of the rope is GREATER THAN 50 feet in length from the attachment point on the anchor to the clip just above the red buoy.
Question:	Would this anchor be appropriate for a 12 foot jon boat? (For lake conditions only...I don't expect to use this type on the river
Answer:	Yes

Wire access through any side.The control knob which cannot be removed whilst in the ON or OFF position, however can be removed by switching to anti-clockwise 45 degree position. Hope this helps

Extreme Max BoatTector Complete Grapnel Anchor Kit

BoatTector Anchor Kits were designed with one goal in mind: Convenience. There’s no more messing around trying to find an anchor line to pair with your anchor or wasting time trying to thread on a new marker buoy.

Why? Because we’ve done it for you.

This anchor kit comes stocked with perfectly paired products, and includes the revolutionary folding grapnel anchor, hollow braid polythene anchor line, plated steel snap hook, foam marker buoy, and a durable padded nylon storage bag to hold it all together.

Folding Grapnel Anchor

Performance meets convenience with the BoatTector folding grapnel anchor, pairing the popular four-fluke grapnel design with the ability to fold in on itself for storage in even the smallest crannies. The flukes lock securely into both the folded and open positions easily with a twist of the central locking device, folding and unfolding in seconds.

Grapnel-style anchors are ideally suited for use in coral, rocky, or heavily weeded bottom conditions.

Hollow Braid Anchor Line

Anchors, regardless of style or performance, would be useless without a quality anchor line connecting it to your boat. BoatTector Anchor Kits proudly include a 25’ high-quality hollow-braid polyethylene anchor line to keep your boat secure while the anchor grabs. Included on the anchor line is a moveable marker buoy constructed entirely from durable marine-grade foam. Naturally quick drying, the line and buoy resist mold and mildew, helping them remain structurally sound for years of confident anchoring.

Durable Nylon Storage Bag

Completing the BoatTector Anchor Kit is a durable nylon storage bag that is perfectly sized to hold your anchor, anchor line, and marker buoy. Keeping everything together in one neat bag helps prevent anchor line tangles and lost components. As a bonus, the bag is also padded, designed to protect your boat from the dangers of an exposed anchor bouncing and rolling around in your boat on a rough-water day, while a toggled drawstring cinches everything tightly into one convenient package.

Question:	What size shackle for 13lb

Question:	What size do i need for a 22ft pontoon
Answer:	It's not that big at all I keep mine on my kayak
Question:	Mine didn’t come with anchor shackle. What size does the 3.5 lb version need
Answer:	Yes you can use the square bit for these screws that came with your Kreg Jig. Thank You,Billy HKreg Tech Support
Question:	Hello: What is the length dimension of the anchor without shipping-packaging? mffrac
Answer:	This is what I did when I needed to replace some 2x4 balusters: I bought the Kreg Mini Jig and Kreg SML-C250B-250. The Kreg Mini comes with a stepped drill, collar and tool all for $20.00. For the Kreg Mini to work on 1-1/2 thick material (2x4 and 2x6) you'll need to hold the jig back from the edge 1-1/4 inches. The collar depth needs to be set at 4-1/2 and you'll need to use blue 2-1/2 inch screws. #8 coarse are fine. So far so good. No splitting and they are holding fine. orYou can buy the Kreg KJHD Jig HD and use the SML-C250B-250.

User questions & answers

Question:	I just received mine. the tabs on the shaft impede easy opening of the anchor and when it's open I can't turn the ring around enough to get it to lock
Answer:	I have not used in the ocean but I live on the Carolina Coast and think the five pound weight is too light to overcome the strength of the near shore waves.
Question:	Is the float PVC (as described) or styrofoam as shown in pictures
Answer:	I don’t know what you mean by river style but we use about 10 of these in a river to anchor buoys to keep boats out of our swimming area. We also use then to anchor a swimming raft. They are light enough to lift and move when needed but don’t get washed down river by a medium strength river current.
Question:	Would this work for a jet ski at the sandbar ? Also, how rust resistant? We go out every weekend in the summer and saltwater can be harsh
Answer:	For an anchor wizard yes. Too big for a kayak though.
Question:	Is this anchor able to go on a 2000 pound boat
Answer:	Made in China.
