Tri-fluke river anchor built from cast iron and finished with a royal blue vinyl coating that protects your hull and gelcoat from scuffs and dings during anchoring. The tri-fluke design is engineered for soft and moderate river and lake bottoms, allowing the flukes to dig into silt, mud, and sand while also catching on rocks and structure in current, which makes it well suited to moving water where a standard fluke anchor can drag. Greenfield recommends this anchor for boats under 26 feet, and it works well as a primary anchor for lighter craft or as a second anchor aboard larger boats for extra holding power, a stern set, or a backup in changing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor proper holding power, Greenfield recommends a scope ratio of 5:1, meaning 5 feet of anchor line for every 1 foot of water depth. The vinyl coating not only shields your boat's finish but also helps resist corrosion on the cast iron body. Because the anchor is cast iron with a coating applied, Greenfield notes that actual weights can vary slightly from the listed 30 lb. Due to differences in metal and coating content, so listed weight should be treated as approximate.\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 530-R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 lb.
