Gen3 Marine 22 lb Galvanized Self-Righting Plow Anchor

The Gen3 Marine 22 lb Galvanized Self-Righting Plow Anchor (part number 5-3006) is designed to make anchoring simpler and more reliable for boat owners. Its plow-style shank profile and ballasted tip give the anchor a low center of gravity, allowing it to set itself and grab bottom immediately after being deployed. Self-Righting technology means the anchor will orient itself correctly on the seabed and can reset itself if the boat's position or the current shifts, reducing the chance of the anchor dragging or failing to bite.

Built with a galvanized finish, the 5-3006 is protected against corrosion from saltwater and freshwater exposure, making it suitable for long-term use in marine environments. At 22.6 pounds, it is sized for boats that call for a 22 lb class plow anchor. This anchor is a universal ground tackle product and is not tied to a specific boat make, model, or engine fitment.
