Cast from marine-grade steel in a single piece, the anchor is finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating that resists corrosion in both saltwater and freshwater environments, helping it hold up season after season. At 8 pounds, it is sized for boats up to 18 feet in length, making it a practical choice for smaller runabouts, jon boats, and day boats that need a reliable primary or backup anchor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe claw-shaped fluke design is engineered to right itself no matter how it lands on the bottom, so it digs in and sets quickly without needing to be repositioned. This self-righting action makes it effective in mud, sand, and rocky seabeds, giving boaters confidence when anchoring in unfamiliar or mixed-bottom conditions. The single-piece cast construction avoids the moving parts and pivot points found in some other anchor styles, reducing points of wear and simplifying maintenance. Its gray, hot-dip galvanized finish is applied after casting to protect the steel from rust and saltwater corrosion over repeated use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anchor is a straightforward, no-frills option for boaters who want a proven claw-style design at an accessible price point, without sacrificing the corrosion resistance and durability needed for regular marine use.\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 5-3024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Claw Anchor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 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-Dipped Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoat Length Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 18 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnchor Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Claw (Bruce-style)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-piece cast steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 810037463521\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for boats up to 18 feet in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo OEM cross-reference numbers apply to this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size boats is the Gen3 Marine Galvanized Claw Anchor (5-3024) rated for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This anchor is sized for boats up to 18 feet in length, making it suited to smaller runabouts, jon boats, and day boats rather than larger vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this anchor weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine Galvanized Claw Anchor weighs 8 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the claw 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 different types of seabed?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
