Gen3 Marine 35 lb Galvanized Self-Righting Plow Anchor

The Gen3 Marine 35 lb Galvanized Self-Righting Plow Anchor is built for boaters who want fast, reliable holding without wrestling with anchor placement. Its plow-style shank profile and ballasted tip give it a low center of gravity, so the anchor orients itself correctly as it descends and sets immediately on contact with the bottom, rather than requiring the boat to drag it into position. This self-righting design also means the anchor can reset itself if it breaks free and re-lands on the seabed, reducing the risk of dragging in shifting wind or current.

The anchor is finished in galvanized steel for corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments, making it suitable as a primary or backup anchor for recreational boats. Its 35 lb weight class and plow profile make it a straightforward, no-frills anchoring solution for boaters who want dependable performance without a complex mechanism.
