Its inverted-bell shape settles into sand, mud, or silt to create suction-based holding power, making it a reliable choice for light-duty anchoring where a lightweight, easy-to-stow anchor is preferred over a heavier fluke-style design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 10 pound anchor is sized for small craft, personal watercraft (PWC), canoes, and kayaks, and also works well as a second anchor aboard larger boats or as a drag anchor for fishing in current. It is suitable for holding small buoys and markers in place. The anchor is recommended for boats under 12 feet in soft anchoring conditions, and stores easily thanks to its compact, rounded profile. A recommended scope ratio of 5:1 (5 feet of line for every 1 foot of water depth) should be used when setting the anchor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black coating protects the cast iron body from corrosion and wear during regular use and storage. As with any cast metal anchor, actual weight can vary slightly depending on the metal and coating content, so listed weight is approximate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greenfield Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 510\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mushroom Anchor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 pound capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions (L x W x H):\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.25 x 7 x 7 inches\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 Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small craft, PWC, canoes, kayaks, boats under 12 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 025552510012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Greenfield Products 510 mushroom anchor used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 510 is a 10 pound cast iron mushroom anchor designed for small craft, personal watercraft (PWC), canoes, and kayaks, and it also works as a secondary anchor on larger boats or as a drag anchor for fishing in current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size boat is this anchor recommended for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This mushroom anchor is recommended for boats under 12 feet in soft anchoring conditions such as sand, mud, or silt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the anchor weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Greenfield Products 510 weighs 10 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 510 mushroom anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e The anchor measures 7.25 x 7 x 7 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the anchor made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of cast iron with a black protective coating to help resist corrosion during use and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the weight ever vary between individual anchors?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, because the anchor is cast metal with a coating, actual weight can vary slightly from unit to unit, so the 10 pound rating is approximate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat line-to-depth ratio should I use when setting this anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e A scope ratio of 5:1 is recommended, meaning 5 feet of anchor line for every 1 foot of water depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this anchor be used to hold a buoy or marker instead of a boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 510 mushroom anchor is also suitable for holding small buoys or markers in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this anchor hold well on a rocky or hard bottom?\u003c\/strong\u003e This mushroom-style anchor is recommended for soft conditions like sand, mud, or silt, and light duty holding rather than rocky or hard bottoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this anchor suitable as a primary anchor or a backup?\u003c\/strong\u003e It can serve either role: it is sized as a primary anchor for small craft like kayaks and canoes, and as a second anchor on larger boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the mushroom shape help it hold position?\u003c\/strong\u003e The inverted-bell mushroom shape settles into and creates suction with soft bottom material, giving it holding power in sand, mud, or silt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the anchor come with any additional hardware included?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Greenfield Products 510 is the anchor itself; it does not include anchor line, chain, or a shackle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greenfield Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031103348955,"sku":"G-P-510","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51_kcipj5ML.jpg?v=1785208894","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/greenfield-products-510-black-coated-mushroom-anchor-10-pound-capacity-for-kayaks-canoes-pwc-and-small-boats","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
