It is cast from marine-grade steel in a single piece for durability, then finished with a hot-dip galvanized coating that resists corrosion in saltwater and freshwater environments. The claw-style head is engineered to self-right no matter how it lands on the bottom, so it sets properly and resists fouling instead of dragging on its side. This design makes it a practical, low-maintenance option for boaters who want reliable anchoring without a complicated deployment routine. The 5-3026 is sized for boats up to 24 to 30 feet in length, offering a balance of holding power and manageable weight for hand deployment or use with a windlass. Its one-piece steel construction eliminates weak points like welds or moving parts that can fail under load, and the galvanized finish is designed to hold up to repeated exposure to sun, salt spray, and submersion. Whether used as a primary bow anchor or a secondary anchor for overnight anchoring, the Gen3 Marine claw anchor is built to be a straightforward, long-lasting piece of ground tackle.\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 5-3026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnchor Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Claw Anchor (Bruce-style)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marine Grade Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hot-Dip Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Boat Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 24-30 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-piece cast steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-righting head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 810037463545\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size boat is the Gen3 Marine 5-3026 anchor designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5-3026 claw anchor from Gen3 Marine is designed for boats up to 24 to 30 feet in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this anchor weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-3026 claw anchor weighs 16.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the anchor made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is cast from marine-grade steel in a single piece, then finished with a hot-dip galvanized coating for corrosion resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this anchor hold in sand or mud?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the claw design on the Gen3 Marine 5-3026 is built to hold in mud, sand, and rocky seabeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the anchor need to land a certain way to set properly?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 5-3026 has a self-righting design that orients itself correctly no matter how it lands on the bottom, which helps it set and resist fouling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color and finish does this anchor have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-3026 has a gray, hot-dip galvanized finish over marine-grade steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a one-piece or welded anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5-3026 claw anchor is cast in a single piece rather than assembled from welded parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this anchor be used as a secondary or backup anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e Its size and holding power make the Gen3 Marine 5-3026 suitable as either a primary bow anchor or a secondary anchor for boats up to 24 to 30 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat style of anchor is the 5-3026?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a claw-style (Bruce-style) anchor, identified by its curved, self-righting claw head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the galvanized coating suitable for saltwater use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the hot-dip galvanized finish on the Gen3 Marine 5-3026 is designed to resist corrosion in marine environments, including saltwater.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gen3 Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991667847387,"sku":"GEN-5-3026","price":114.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/310ua8_7DKL_e4bd393e-a4a7-42e5-b282-ac9d6a1b0ee6.jpg?v=1784509676","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gen3-marine-galvanized-claw-anchor-17-lb-for-boats-24-ft-to-30-ft-hot-dipped-corrosion-resistant-steel","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
