How do I pick the right Richter anchor size for my boat?

Match the anchor to your boat's overall length: choose the 14 lb 614-B for boats up to 18 feet, or the 18 lb 618-B for boats up to 24 feet. Boaters near the top of a size range or anchoring in strong current should consider sizing up.

What bottom conditions does this anchor work in?

The tri-fluke design lets the flukes penetrate soft and moderate bottoms like sand and mud, while also engaging rocks and structure in rivers and current, so it holds in sand, mud, rocks, rivers, and lakes.

Is the listed weight exact?

The listed weights (14 lb and 18 lb) are approximate; the manufacturer notes that actual weight varies slightly with the metal and coating used in production.

What is the Richter anchor made of?

Both sizes of the Greenfield Richter Anchor are made of steel with a black finish.

Can this anchor be used as a primary anchor or only a backup?

Both sizes work well as an all-purpose primary anchor on lighter craft, and either also serves as a good second anchor on larger boats.

What is the difference between the 614-B and 618-B?

The 614-B is the 14 lb model rated for boats up to 18 feet, while the 618-B is the heavier 18 lb model rated for boats up to 24 feet; both share the same tri-fluke design and black steel finish.

Does a heavier anchor mean better holding power?

Generally yes -- the 18 lb 618-B provides more holding margin than the 14 lb 614-B, which is why it's recommended for longer boats or tougher anchoring conditions.

Will this anchor work in a river with current?

Yes, the tri-fluke design is built to engage rocks and structure typical of rivers and areas with current, in addition to soft-bottom lakes.

$85.37

The Greenfield Richter Anchor is a steel tri-fluke boat anchor built to bite and hold across a wide range of bottom conditions, from soft sand and mud to rocky riverbeds and current-swept lake shorelines. Its three-fluke design lets the anchor self-right and set quickly no matter how it lands on the bottom, giving boaters confidence whether they are anchoring for the day or just holding position for lunch. Finished in durable black, the Richter Anchor works as a capable primary anchor on smaller craft and as a reliable secondary or backup anchor on larger boats. It is sold in two weight classes so you can match the anchor to your boat's length and typical anchoring conditions.

Sizes & Options

Choose the Richter Anchor based on your boat's overall length. The 614-B (14 lb) is sized for boats up to 18 feet and suits smaller runabouts, jon boats, and day cruisers. The 618-B (18 lb) is sized for boats up to 24 feet and is the better fit for larger center consoles, pontoons, and cruisers, or for boaters who anchor in stronger current or wind. If your boat sits near the upper end of a size range, or you regularly anchor in challenging bottom conditions, sizing up to the heavier anchor gives extra holding margin.
