Greenfield Products 515-R Vinyl Coated Mushroom Anchor, 15 lb, Royal Blue

The Greenfield Products 515-R is a 15 pound cast iron mushroom anchor finished with a royal blue vinyl coating. It is built for small craft use, holding personal watercraft, canoes, and kayaks securely in soft bottom conditions such as sand or mud, and it also works well as a second anchor aboard larger boats. The mushroom shape settles into soft substrate and resists dragging under light duty conditions, making it a practical choice for boats under 16 feet.

Beyond primary anchoring, the 515-R can be used as a drag anchor to slow drift while fishing in current, and it is well suited to holding small buoys or markers in place. The cast iron body provides dependable weight for its size, while the vinyl coating in royal blue helps protect the finish and adds a visible pop of color on deck or in storage. Its compact, simple design stores easily in a small hatch or locker. A recommended scope ratio of 5:1 (line feet to depth feet) should be used when setting the anchor for reliable holding performance.
