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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSized 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gen3 Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnchor Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slip-Ring Fluke Anchor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 x 3.75 x 14.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Boat Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 to 29 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Bottom Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mud and sand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 810037461732\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size boat is the Gen3 Marine #7 Slip-Ring Fluke Anchor made for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This anchor, Gen3 Marine part number 5-2004, is designed for boats 24 to 29 feet in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a slip-ring anchor and how is it different from a standard fluke anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e On the 5-2004 slip-ring anchor, the chain ring is free to slide along the shank toward the fluke as tension is applied, which lets the fluke break free from the bottom more easily than a fixed-ring fluke anchor. This makes retrieval easier in conditions where anchors commonly snag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bottom types does this anchor work best in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine #7 Slip-Ring Fluke Anchor performs best in mud and sand, where its fluke design achieves quick penetration and a strong hold in shallow water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Gen3 Marine 5-2004 anchor weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The anchor weighs 4.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the #7 Slip-Ring Anchor made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from galvanized steel, which provides lasting corrosion protection for marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the Gen3 Marine #7 anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e The anchor measures 15 x 3.75 x 14.5 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the slip-ring design help if my anchor gets snagged?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
