Its mushroom-shaped head is designed to settle into and grip soft bottom conditions such as mud and sand, making it a light-duty anchoring solution for small craft. It is well suited for personal watercraft (PWC), canoes, kayaks, and other small boats, and also works well as a second anchor aboard larger boats. Beyond primary anchoring, the 515-RD can serve as a drag anchor to help control drift while fishing in current, or as a mooring weight for holding small buoys and markers in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cast iron body gives the anchor the mass needed to hold in soft conditions, while the vinyl coating adds a protective, easy-to-identify red finish that helps guard boat decks and hulls from scratches during handling and stowage. Greenfield recommends a scope ratio (length of anchor line to water depth) of 5:1 for proper holding performance. The compact mushroom shape stores easily aboard boats under 16 feet, and the anchor is intended for light-duty use in calm to moderately soft anchoring conditions rather than rocky or hard bottoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greenfield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 515-RD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Scope Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5:1 (line feet to depth feet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Boat Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Under 16 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 025552515024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size boats is the Greenfield 515-RD anchor designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 515-RD is designed for boats under 16 feet, and works well on small craft such as personal watercraft, canoes, and kayaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 515-RD mushroom anchor weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Greenfield 515-RD weighs 15 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 515-RD anchor made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from cast iron with a red vinyl coating over the metal body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bottom conditions is this anchor best suited for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 515-RD mushroom anchor is recommended for soft bottom conditions like mud and sand, and is intended for light-duty anchoring rather than rocky or hard bottoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 515-RD be used for anything besides anchoring a boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, in addition to anchoring small craft, the 515-RD can be used as a drag anchor for fishing in current or to hold small buoys and markers in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat scope ratio should I use with the 515-RD anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e Greenfield recommends a scope ratio of 5:1, meaning 5 feet of anchor line for every 1 foot of water depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the 515-RD anchor coated in vinyl instead of left as bare cast iron?\u003c\/strong\u003e The vinyl coating on the 515-RD protects the cast iron body and helps prevent scratches to boat decks and hulls during handling and storage, in addition to giving it a red finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Greenfield 515-RD suitable as a second anchor on a larger boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 515-RD mushroom anchor can be used as a second anchor aboard larger boats in addition to serving as a primary anchor on small craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 515-RD anchor come with rope or chain included?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 515-RD is the cast iron mushroom anchor itself; anchor line is not part of this item.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Greenfield 515-RD anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 515-RD has a red vinyl coating, as indicated by the RD designation in its part number.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greenfield Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031103480027,"sku":"G-P-515-RD","price":37.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/511MoRjt1tL.jpg?v=1785208898","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/greenfield-515-rd-vinyl-coated-mushroom-anchor-red-15-lb-cast-iron-anchor-for-small-boats-pwc-kayaks","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
