Gen3 Marine 22 lb 316 Stainless Steel Plow Anchor, Self-Launching Design
The Gen3 Marine 22 lb Plow Anchor is a one-piece, self-launching anchor built from 316 stainless steel for a corrosion resistant, sleek finish. Its low center of gravity gives it strong holding power to keep a boat securely in place through wind and tide changes. Because it is a solid one-piece construction rather than a hinged or multi-part design, it is easy to deploy, retrieve, and store aboard. The self-launching design lets the anchor set itself once dropped, without extra adjustment from the user. At 22 pounds, this plow-style anchor suits boaters who want a durable, low-maintenance ground tackle option finished in stainless steel rather than galvanized steel. The anchor measures 27 x 13 x 12 inches and is sold as a single unit intended for general boat anchoring use.
