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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeighing 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.\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 5-1004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fluke (Danforth-style) Anchor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e #8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hot Dipped Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 x 5 x 23 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoat Length Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 feet to 22 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Bottom Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mud and sand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size boats is the Gen3 Marine #8 Fluke Anchor designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This #8 size Fluke Anchor from Gen3 Marine is designed for boats 17 feet to 22 feet in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this anchor weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine Fluke Anchor, part number 5-1004, weighs 8.75 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5-1004 Fluke Anchor measures 18 x 5 x 23 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does this anchor have?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a hot dipped galvanized finish, which is applied to resist corrosion in both saltwater and freshwater environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bottom types does this anchor work best on?\u003c\/strong\u003e Mud and sand bottoms give the best holding performance; grassy, rocky, or clay bottoms are not recommended for this fluke-style design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this anchor roll once it is set?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Gen3 Marine Fluke Anchor is designed so it will not roll after it sets, which helps keep the vessel under control while anchored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a Danforth-style anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, part number 5-1004 uses the traditional fluke (Danforth-style) design with wide flukes for strong holding power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the part number for this anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine #8 Fluke Anchor is identified by part number 5-1004.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this anchor be used as a primary anchor or only as backup?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sized for boats 17 to 22 feet, the 5-1004 Fluke Anchor is suitable as either a primary or backup anchor for that boat class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the galvanized coating hold up over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e The hot dipped galvanized finish on the 5-1004 anchor is intended to provide long-term corrosion resistance through repeated seasonal use in the water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gen3 Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991655821531,"sku":"GEN-5-1004","price":58.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/41JM7FSranL.jpg?v=1784509459","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gen3-marine-8-fluke-anchor-9-lb-hot-dipped-galvanized-danforth-style-boat-anchor-for-17-to-22-boats","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
