Gen3 Marine HDG Galvanized Fluke Anchor #8, 8.75 lb, for Boats 17-22 Feet

The Gen3 Marine #8 HDG Galvanized Fluke Anchor delivers the traditional, trusted holding power of a Danforth-style fluke anchor for boats 17 feet to 22 feet in length. Its hot dipped galvanized finish resists corrosion in marine environments, while the wide flukes dig into mud and sand to provide a strong, dependable hold. The fluke design is engineered so the anchor will not roll once it is set, giving you more control of your vessel while at anchor. This anchor is best suited to mud and sand bottoms; for best performance, avoid grassy, rocky, or clay bottoms where fluke-style anchors get less reliable purchase.

Weighing 8.75 pounds, this #8 size Fluke Anchor is sized for boats in the 17 to 22 foot range, making it a solid primary or backup anchor for that class of vessel. The galvanized coating is applied for long-term durability against saltwater and freshwater exposure, so the anchor holds up to repeated use season after season.
