Gen3 Marine 25 lb Galvanized Folding Box Anchor with Storage Bag

This Gen3 Marine folding box anchor is a 25 pound galvanized anchor built for small to mid-size boats used on lakes and rivers. Its collapsible, square folding design uses a stabilizing arm that lets the anchor fold flat for easy storage and unfold quickly for use, and it comes with its own storage bag so it can be stowed without scratching the hull or other gear. The galvanized finish resists corrosion and rust, making it suitable for repeated use in fresh water environments. The box anchor style is designed with a small surface area that allows the anchor to release straight up off the bottom, so it can be freed without dragging or snagging, while still giving the operator good control over placement and reliable holding regardless of bottom condition. At 25 pounds, this anchor is sized for boats that need more holding weight than a small folding anchor provides, while still remaining compact enough to fold down for storage in an anchor locker, bag, or storage compartment. It is sold as a complete anchor with no additional hardware required beyond a rode to attach it to. This anchor is well suited for boaters on lakes and rivers who want a foldable, storable anchor rather than a fixed fluke or mushroom anchor that takes up more space.
