Gen3 Marine #10 Galvanized Slip-Ring Anchor, 4.4 lb, for Boats 21-25 Feet
The Gen3 Marine #10 Slip-Ring Anchor is a 4.4 pound galvanized steel fluke anchor sized for boats 21 to 25 feet in length. Its slip-ring design lets the anchor chain slide freely toward the fluke, which reduces snagging and makes retrieval faster and easier compared to a fixed-shackle anchor. The fluke shape is built to achieve quick penetration and a strong hold in mud and sand, making this anchor best suited to shallow waters with soft bottoms rather than rocky or hard-packed terrain.
The galvanized steel construction provides lasting corrosion protection in both fresh and salt water environments, standing up to repeated deployment and retrieval without rusting through. The anchor measures 15 x 3 x 17 inches, a compact profile that stows easily in an anchor locker or bow compartment. For boaters who have dealt with a fluke anchor stuck fast in the bottom, the slip-ring feature is the key upgrade: instead of hauling straight up against a buried fluke, the ring lets the pull angle change so the anchor breaks free with less effort.
