Gen3 Marine 9 lb Galvanized Self-Righting Plow Anchor

The Gen3 Marine 9 lb Galvanized Self-Righting Plow Anchor (part number 5-3004) is a plow-style boat anchor built for reliable, immediate setting in a range of bottom conditions. Its low center of gravity, shank profile, and ballasted tip work together so the anchor orients itself correctly on the seabed and digs in right away, rather than needing to be dragged into position. Self-Righting technology also means the anchor can reset itself on the bottom if it is pulled loose or shifted by changing current or wind, reducing the chance of dragging.

The anchor is finished in galvanized coating for corrosion resistance in fresh and salt water use. At 9 pounds and sized at 9.75 x 19 x 10 inches, it suits smaller to mid-size boats that need a compact, easy-to-stow plow anchor for day anchoring or overnight use. The plow design and ballasted tip are the key features that let this anchor set quickly without extensive maneuvering.
