Gen3 Marine 14 lb Galvanized Self-Righting Plow Anchor

The Gen3 Marine 14 lb Plow Anchor (part number 5-3005) is a galvanized plow-style anchor built around a self-righting design that sets itself and can hold immediately after deployment. Its low center of gravity works together with a shaped shank and a ballasted tip so the anchor naturally rights itself on the seabed before digging in, rather than requiring the boat to drag it into the correct orientation first. This self-righting technology also allows the anchor to reset on its own if it breaks free and needs to re-engage the bottom.

The anchor carries a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in marine environments, and its plow-style profile is a widely used anchor shape for recreational boats seeking dependable holding power across varied bottom conditions. At 14.4 pounds and measuring 20.5 x 10 x 11 inches, it is sized as ground tackle for boat owners who need a mid-size primary or secondary anchor. Because the anchor sets quickly and resets itself, it is suited to boaters who want a low-fuss anchoring routine without repeated re-deployment attempts.
