Greenfield Products 530-RD Vinyl Coated River Anchor, 30 lb, Red

The Greenfield Products 530-RD is a 30 lb vinyl coated river anchor built for boats under 26 feet. It uses a tri-fluke cast iron design that is recommended for soft to moderate bottom conditions and medium duty use, allowing the flukes to penetrate soft river bottoms while also engaging rocks and structure in rivers and current. This makes it a versatile all-purpose anchor for lighter craft, or a reliable second anchor aboard a larger boat.

The cast iron body is finished with a vinyl coating that protects the boat's hull and finish from scratches and dings during retrieval and stowage. The recommended scope for this anchor is a 5:1 ratio of line feet to depth feet. Because weights can vary slightly due to metal and coating content, the listed 30 lb weight is approximate.

At 30 x 13.5 x 8.75 inches, the 530-RD is sized for boaters who need dependable holding power in river and current conditions without the bulk of a larger anchor.
