Gen3 Marine 13 lb Galvanized Folding Box Anchor with Storage Bag
The Gen3 Marine 13 lb Folding Box Anchor is a galvanized folding anchor built for small to mid-size boats used on lakes and rivers. Its collapsible design uses a stabilizing arm that folds flat for compact storage, then opens to set quickly on the bottom. The small surface area of the folded profile allows the anchor to release straight down without tangling on deck hardware or a bow roller, which makes retrieval simpler than bulkier anchor styles. The galvanized steel finish resists corrosion in fresh and salt water environments, extending the working life of the anchor compared to uncoated steel. This anchor is designed to grip and hold across a range of bottom conditions, giving boaters control over where the anchor sets rather than dragging until it catches. A matching storage bag is included, keeping the folded anchor and its arm contained and protecting other gear in the boat from scuffing or rust transfer while stowed. At 14.7 pounds, it is sized for boaters who want a compact, easy-to-handle anchor that does not require a windlass to deploy or retrieve by hand. This anchor suits lake, river, and calm inshore anchoring where a folding, low-profile design is preferred over a fixed-fluke anchor.
