Gen3 Marine #7 Galvanized Slip-Ring Fluke Anchor, 4.2 lb, for Boats 24 to 29 Feet
Gen3 Marine #7 Galvanized Slip-Ring Fluke Anchor, 4.2 lb, for Boats 24 to 29 Feet
The Gen3 Marine #7 Slip-Ring Fluke Anchor (5-2004) is a galvanized steel anchor built for boats 24 to 29 feet in length. Its fluke design is engineered for quick penetration and a strong hold in mud and sand, making it a dependable choice for anglers and cruisers who anchor in shallow water.
What sets this anchor apart is its slip-ring design: instead of the chain attaching to a fixed point on the shank, the ring slides freely toward the fluke as you pull. This lets the fluke rotate and release from the bottom far more easily than a standard fixed anchor, cutting down on the frustration of a snagged anchor that will not break free. The galvanized steel construction provides lasting corrosion protection for repeated use in fresh or salt water.
Sized for boats in the 24 to 29 foot range, the #7 Slip-Ring Fluke Anchor is best suited to muddy or sandy bottoms in shallow water, where its digging fluke geometry performs best.
