Gen3 Marine #13 Galvanized Fluke Anchor, 14.5 lb, for Boats 23 to 27 Feet
The Gen3 Marine #13 Fluke Anchor is a hot-dip galvanized boat anchor built with the traditional Danforth-style fluke design trusted by boaters for dependable holding power in mud and sand bottoms. The wide, hinged flukes dig in and bury themselves as tension is applied, generating a strong hold that keeps the anchor set even as wind and current shift. The hot-dip galvanized finish coats the anchor to resist corrosion in saltwater and freshwater environments, helping it hold up to repeated use.
This #13 model is sized for boats 23 feet to 27 feet in length and weighs 14.5 pounds, putting it in the mid-size range of the Gen3 Marine fluke anchor lineup. Its fluke geometry is engineered so the anchor will not roll once set, giving the operator more consistent control of the vessel at anchor. For best holding performance, this anchor is best suited to mud and sand bottoms; it is not recommended for grassy, rocky, or clay bottoms, where fluke-style anchors generally struggle to penetrate and set.
The Gen3 Marine #13 Fluke Anchor is a straightforward, no-frills ground tackle option for boaters who want a proven anchor style at the correct size and weight for their boat length.
